Verdict
Soft ground may have been an excuse for IDEFIX DE CIERGUES running below par at Chepstow. He’d finished runner-up at the same track track before that and a reproduction should see him off the mark in this. Sister Julienne attempted to make all when placed at Market Rasen on her debut and she’s a likely improver while Guinessed is related to bumper winners and fellow newcomer It Had To Be Shaw is out of a Listed bumper winner.
