After a couple of outings, Beau Du Brizais should be approaching peak fitness but conditions here are a complete unknown. CKALCO DES LOGES was possibly a lucky winner last time at Bangor but he did win on soft going at Chepstow in March and looks the one to beat if handling the step up in trip. Souriyan was an easy winner over even further at Uttoxeter but was put up 12lb for that. Desert Sensation also stays well and will have needed last month’s run at Worcester, his first since February, but Foxy Act was well beaten on his handicap debut.
