Verdict

Achille finished behind D'jango at Fontwell in January and was beaten 10 lengths by a back-to-form DOMAINE DE L’ISLE over a marathon trip at Chepstow last month. If Sean Curran’s charge reproduces that run here, he’ll take all the beating. Ballinslea Bridge could be a danger if on a going day but none of the others arrive in any kind of form.
