Verdict
Monsieur Lecoq won off a 5lb higher mark here less than a year ago but this season’s efforts have left much to be desired and Trapista has more scope having run just three times over fences so far, placing twice. Alto Alto was pulled up on his chasing bow but has won on fast ground over hurdles. FAMILY BUSINESS has been campaigned over further since arriving in this country but was successful three times over this trip in France and was a winner off this mark at Leicester around this time last year.
