Verdict

Of the recent winners, OISEAU DE NUIT is preferred to Pret A Thou whilst there are a few of interest from amongst the remainder with Lorient Express perhaps the best of them. The Hobbs runner has posted improved efforts since returning to action this term, thrashing Sole Agent by 17 lengths at Lingfield and then coming up short against Jigsaw Dancer. There was no disgrace in defeat to Andy Turnell's progressive chaser and he can resume winning ways here. Pret A Thou has risen by 13lbs for his runaway success at Hereford but he rather got the run of the race there and is opposable from his revised mark. Lorient Express has a fair bit to prove but he has course form to his name and is from an in-form yard that's capable of having him ready. Picot De Say isn't the biggest but has run well on both chase starts here and should benefit from returning to the minimum trip whilst Brave Villa is capable of getting involved if recapturing his best form. Rustler hasn't always delivered as much as promise but L'Eau Du Nil has his first run over British fences and comes into the race in form. This is another interesting heat but Oiseau De Nuit has plenty going for him and is taken to triumph.
