Verdict
Four of these ran in the Ladbroke at Leopardstown last month. Gaillard Du Mesnil fared best but still only finished third with Fury Road tailed off. Beacon Edge fell at the sixth with Capodanno departing a fence earlier but Farouk D'Alene beat Beacon Edge in a Grade 2 at Navan just over three weeks ago and could be overpriced. Bravemansgame picked off AHOY SENOR in the Kauto Star at Kempton on Boxing Day and won his prep race in a handicap at Newbury subsequently but Lucinda Russell’s stable star might be better judged on victories either side of that at Newbury and Wetherby and he should relish the gallop to the line here. L'Homme Presse has done nothing but improve but this is a very tough race in which to tackle 3m for the first time with Threeunderthrufive more of a guaranteed stayer, though perhaps lacking the quality to beat some of these off level weights. Dusart has been brought along quietly but needs massive improvement to land this.
