Verdict

C’EST NO MOUR (NAP) and Simon Walker won this in 2017 off a 2lb higher mark and the partnership was third in the race last year and 5lb higher. Peter Hedger’s gelding wears a visor for the first time today and end a long losing run. Allegiant was second over course and distance at the start of the month and won over 1m2f at Newmarket 10 days ago but had a busy time of it lately. Mistiroc hasn’t won in more than three years but probably has place claims but the handicapper appears to have got to grips with French Mix.
