Verdict
Ain Tecbalet has shown enough in his native France to score here. He is from a yard in top form and is sure to be well schooled. Nicky Henderson's charge is the TEAMtalk selection. Master Florian is a well bred sort from a top yard and rates the main danger having won on his only run so far, but that was on good ground and he may find the soft conditions against him. The Secretary was a fair third at Bangor last time out behind the highly regarded Ar Muin Na Muice and has definite place claims. Of the remainder, Full On has shown a modicum of ability and is from a shrewd yard-a market move would be significant. The rest look exposed and the newcomers are sure to come on for the run.
