L'Oiseau, Hope Sound and Beau Roberto make most appeal of the field and we will side with the former. Second to the highly regarded Moonlit Harbour and with Tony Dobbin aboard, he looks the percentage call. Hope Sound has course form and is stepped up in trip. Beau Roberto hails from a yard that can get them back first time out and is watched in the market for any signs of support. Loblite Leader was a modest stayer on the flat and is now upped in trip after a couple of unsuccessful forays over shorter distances. Sporting Hero is watched for now. L'Oiseau is given the verdict in the opener.
