        Verdict

        The drop in class should suite Bon Viveur and he gets the vote ahead of Matarazzo and Hansomelle. The selcetion had a decent first campaign, taking on some decent types in class two and three company. He has earned a rating of 109 and comes here following two good efforts last month. This is a much easier event and he can gain an overdue first success. Matarazzo looks the pick of the newcomers. Gary Moore does well with his recruits from the flat, no matter what they are rated. He has a had a couple of recent spins and should be fighting fit for his debut. Hansomelle has shown plenty of promise in three races to date and should be in the shake up again this afternoon. Lady Duxyana is another debutante to keep an eye on in the betting, but on this occasion we will side with experience and plump for Bon Viveur.
