Verdict
SOLEIL D'AVRIL narrowly failed to land a hat-trick between the flags last month but can gain compensation here under an up-and-coming amateur. Killary Bay was up against a decent hunter chaser at Holderness last time and is probably the danger, though Pas De Baratin has also been in good form lately in point-to-points. Bafana Choice is lightly-raced and may be the pick of the remainder ahead of Amour Daria.
