In depth
Verdict
Placed on several occasion in France for Andre Fabre, STUNNED has since joined Robert Cowell and has plenty in hand with these if the handicappers provisional assessment is correct. Nelson's Pride has the beating of Big City Boy and Anfield on today's terms but arrives out of form while Chapeau Bleu has plenty of scope but was engaged at Kempton yesterday. Diamond Man makes his racecourse debut and may well be good enough to get involved.
