Verdict
Delire D'Estruval is probably having a confidence-booster after last season’s tribulations. Seddon and Champagne Court are also better known as chasers while West To The Bridge is a bit of an enigma. Thibault made an encouraging reappearance here over a trip too short, however, and looks a threat to all while Adicci is a course winner who found only one too good a couple of times at the start of the year. NO RISK DES FLOS makes his handicap debut off a decent mark given his potential and is preferred to the equally-unexposed Haddex Des Obeaux.
