      Verdict

      BLEU ET NOIR was no match for Bagad Bihoue at Stratford but the winner scored again on Thursday and Tim Vaughan's five-year-old should find this a lot easier, despite conceding weight all round. Limited Reserve wasn't disgraced at Bangor last time and could be the danger if settling better here. Thunder Pass is a likely improver but The Outlaw is only a plater whose best form is over further.
