Verdict
The lightly-raced Allez Toujours has run a couple of good races of late and is taken by TEAMtalk to put one over on his more exposed rivals. More suited by soft rather than the heavy on his latest outing this formerly Irish-trained gelding looks to have the ideal opportunity to get off the mark here. Premiere Foulee has some progressive recent form but those efforts have come on a firm surface. The same applies to John Steed and it will be no surprise if these both become non runners if the heavens open. Reflex Blue is another who would prefer to hear his hooves underfoot though his recent form has been less progressive. Kadito could be the biggest danger to the selection due to his consistency, completion rate and ability to handle any surface.
