Verdict
FURIANT has tumbled down the weights and returned to winning ways at Ripon last time. He remains well treated on his best form and gets the nod in an unappealing handicap. Cooperess won over 7f here last week and is upped in class along with recent Chepstow third Silhouette and Salisbury runner-up Multigifted, who also drops back in trip. Aldair has won off a similar mark but in soft ground while Jimenez still looks in need of some respite from the handicapper.
