Verdict
Go Fox won on the Flat in June but ENVOI DE LA COUR is still on a winning mark despite a win at Southwell in June. That form could receive a boost from Robeam in the first division. Kapitaliste arrives in decent form while a 4lb rise shouldn’t prevent Sheila Nash from going close to back-to-back course and distance victories. Mr Craftsman and Balkotic aren’t out of this either.
