Audit should finally lose his maiden tag at the expense of Six Of Hearts, Collioure and newcomer Laa Rayb. Connections of Audit have been disappointed so far with Sir Michael Stoute's charge who has failed to respond to the fitting of a visor and a step up in trip thus far. He was gelded over the winter and reappeared with market confidence behind him at Leicester, but was out with the washing at the finish. He now sports blinkers for the first time, and is given another chance to redeem himself before his owners decide enough is enough and sell him to go hurdling. Six Of Hearts caught a tartar in the odds-on Rule Of Life on his Wolverhampton debut, and having cost 100,000 euros, will be expected to repay at least a portion of that outlay in time. Collioure finished third to a couple of more fancied rivals here last time and shapes as though he needs further already, and debutante Laa Rayb could be anything, as could Artless. Basically, Audit is not one to rely on, but has the experience to prevail.
