A wide-open affair with Pie Poudre finally getting off the mark here last time and No Complaining appreciating the longer trip to score over C&D last month. Join Up has won twice here recently and should figure while the likes of Hector Spectre and Merrymadcap are back on winning marks. A multiple winner in France, MOUNT HOLLOW shaped well enough when fourth on his British debut over C&D to suggest he will be winning soon. He can confirm recent superiority with Talent Scout and gets the vote.
