Verdict

BRAQUEUR D’OR hinted at ability over timber before being switched to the larger obstacles and winning here in July. This is his optimum trip and the 12lb he receives from Coole Cody may prove decisive in what looks a virtual match as Michael Blake’s charge, who made all over 2m2f here earlier in the month, is also an embryo chaser. Whiskey Baron has finished tailed off in both hurdle starts and the remainder have even less to recommend them.
