Verdict

L'Epicurienne, looks well in here after his easy win at Bangor. He races off the same mark and should make no mistake, although this trip could be as far as he wants. Cedar Square may find some of these too sharp over this trip round here and that should leave The Land Agent to chase home the favourite. Formerly a useful chaser, winning off a mark of 125 at best, he is clearly on the downgrade now, but he should pick up some place money here.
