A finale which lacks quality can go to Nick Williams' five-year-old BRISE COEUR. The French import has been placed in three of his four starts in the UK and though beaten in a seller at Ffos Las last month this isn't much better. Red Orator has been taking on better opposition and a market move for Jim Best's charge would be significant. He is preferred to stablemate Little Buxted and has far more scope than the likes of Hermosa Vaquera, Clonusker and Up Four It. Directional looks the pick of the remainder.
