Verdict
Hattaab is back on a winning mark but new stablemate BLUE SANS (NAP) is far less exposed and gives every indication there will be plenty more to come over this sort of trip. Khan turned in a shocker when last seen in July and Neverbeen To Paris still looks too high in the weights but Uttoxeter runner-up Champagne Noir is currently better treated over hurdles than fences while Presenting Yeats remains in good form.
