Verdict
Au Quart De Tour started off with impressive victories between the flags and in a bumper on this track but was then beaten a long way in his next four bumper starts. He has a superb jumping pedigree and will obviously have been well schooled though he's likely to be a short price and is worth opposing. Victory Mill went for 70,000 euros after landing a point-to-point at Lingstown in March of last year and looks a nice prospect while Coeur Joyeux has done well in bumpers and has a fitness advantage. GARS BAR DINE has joined Sue Bramall from France where he was placed in two Listed hurdles at Auteuil in the spring. He's only a four-year-old and with Andrew Ring's claim a bonus he'll be getting plenty of weight so looks the one to be on.
