In depth
Verdict
Aviewtosea put his experience to good use at Carlisle in November but has a penalty to carry. Fabuleux Du Clos has some improving to do but Ahoy Senor has won a point and Fortescue Wood was third over course and distance on debut. Nicky Richards, who has a terrific strike-rate with his bumper horses here, runs two. The market will probably determine which is the stable pick but EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE was a slightly more expensive purchase than Parisencore so gets the nod.
