In depth

Verdict

Penbryn proved unsuited by the drop back to 7f last time and much better is expected from Nick Littmoden's charge here. Chez Vrony is worth noting on his Polytrack debut and there should be more to come from Belles Beau. But the selection goes to South African import D'ARTAGNAN who made a pleasing British debut for Gay Kelleway when finishing runner-up here on his return from a five-month lay-off. He finished well clear of the rest of the field on that occasion and looks the one to beat.
