In depth
Verdict
MONT CHOISY is going the right way again since joining this handler, hitting the frame in both outings. He's still well below his previous winning mark on ratings and could have it in him to land an open-looking finale. Calin Du Brizais , twice a winner over fences here this summer, is respected in the bid to take advantage of a reduced hurdles mark while Our Folly , a winner here in June, might leave her lame attempt at the follow-up behind having been given a short break.
