Verdict
Neptune Collonges gets the confident vote here with Hautclan and Bob Bob Bobbin rating the main dangers. The bselection was a good second in a better race behind Our Vic last time out, this looks easier and despite his big weight under conditions that suit he is hard to oppose. Hautclan rates the main danger on his latest third behind Too Forward he looks sure to be suited by this longer trip and should be noted in the market. Bob Bob Bobbin is another that could go well as he won with a little in hand last time when beating Distant Thunder but this looks tougher and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. King Killone loves this course and could go well at a price but his overall profile leaves hinm with a little to find. Of the remainder Direct Access goes well fresh and is from a yard in form and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Neptune Collonges .
