      Verdict

      Windy Hills gets the vote here with Green 'n' Gold and Roobihoo rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Noir Et Vert last time out, that form has since been franked and off the same mark here under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Green'n' Gold rates the main danger on his latest second behind Ange De Villez but he often finds less than expected off the bridle and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Roobihoo is another that could go well on his latest second behind Lucky Nellerie but the drop in trip has to be of concern. Of the remainder Duke Orsino could go well if his jumping holds up but that is a big if and with this in mind for the winner we return to Windy Hills.
