    Verdict

    Incroyable gets the confident vote with Miss The Boat and Tresor Secret rating the main dangers. The selection won well after a long absence last time out when beating Masterman Ready. Granted he has risen in the weights for that win but he won with plenty in hand and is taken to defy the handicapper before going on to better things. Miss The Boat rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Desert Secrets but he has yet to prove he acts on ground as soft as this and at the likely odds he looks worth opposing. Tresor Secret is another worthy of respect as he also won well last time out when beating Spear but that was on the AW and his form on turf over this trip leaves him with a little to find. All Star is game and consistent and is sure to run his race and won't mind the conditions but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder, Swainson is from a yard in top form and looks to be on a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to the progressive Incroyable.
