Verdict
Garde Des Champs is 0-12 but was only beaten a length-and-a-half by Russian Virtue here earlier in the month and is 2lb better off. GAVIN and Trebizond have both progressed from winning sellers to landing handicaps in this grade. The latter was successful over 2m4f here last month, however, so the bottom weight may have too much pace for him today.
