Verdict

Miss Fleur won a novice chase over 3m at Lingfield back in November but has found life tougher in a couple of handicaps since. She has a bit to find with Commanche Dawn here on their running at Folkestone last month but the latter never recovered from an early blunder on his latest start. Bajan Sunshine has been running well without threatening to win over shorter trips lately but has a bit to prove over today's distance and QUARTZ DU MONTCEAU is preferred. A winner over C&D last April, he is at his best at this track and the booking of Sam Twiston-Davies takes the eye.
