Verdict
Foie Gras failed to land a hat-trick when only fourth over 6f here last Saturday. He has to race off the same mark in this while Bertie Blu Boy is upped 3lb for his recent victory over track and trip. He had PERFECT PASTIME back in third but the latter re-opposes on better terms and Jim Boyle's charge is taken to add to his earlier win over course and distance when beating Gypsy Rider. Medecis Mountain only won a Class 7 event at Wolverhampton last time and Alfresco makes more appeal in this company off his current mark.
