    Verdict

    Fibonacci won twice in France but has yet to score for Alan King, though has placed over hurdles and on the Flat. He looks vulnerable giving weight to the in-form LE MUSEE, who came from last to first here last month to add to an earlier victory at Newcastle. Blazon was only beaten a neck over course and distance last time and holds Arty Campbell on that run while Red Royalist ran well for third at Sandown when Nelson River was well beaten.
