Verdict
Pulled up on his latest start, Foxesbow had earlier won twice on fast ground over longer trips while Double The Trouble also won a couple of races on a quick surface back in March. Majy D'Auteuil scored at Stratford when last seen in July and Flaming Gorge should be up to to winning off his current mark this season. PRINCE DU SEUIL has won twice over hurdles, including at this track in testing ground back in February, since he was last tried over fences and Alan King's charge gets the nod to transfer that improvement over to the larger obstacles.
