Verdict
PUISQUE TU PARS did well to beat market leaders Kings Tempest and Hassle at Newbury last month on only his second start over timber. The fourth has won since and that looks better form than Vayland's victory at Taunton, though the Pipe representative also has plenty of scope. Money Talks has a lengthy absence to overcome and Mr Toy Boy is probably just making up the numbers.
