Verdict
Only four to post but quite an interesting bumper in which OLIVERS TRAVELS is the choice to defy his penalty after a comfortable Worcester victory on Rules debut. He certainly sets the standard with that win but Maillot Vert revealed promise first time up over course and distance and is likely to improve. He receives a useful 11lb from the selection, whilst Sangiovese is an interesting newcomer for the Gary Moore team which enjoys a solid 16 per cent strike rate in these contests. The market should be a useful signpost to the chance of the son of Champs Elysees, with Monocular deserving of the same comment for a yard which has enjoyed two winners and a second from three runners in the past fortnight.
