Verdict
REVE DU JOUR will be looking to return to winning ways after finding the progressive Bella Ophelia too good on her last two starts over C&D. She rates the selection dropping down a grade today, while M J Woodward also has claims back on his winning surface after a couple of outings on the Polytrack. George Fenton had both Chateau Lola and Jeremy Sue behind when sixth at Kempton last month and went even closer on his latest start, but Phoenix Clubs looks a bigger threat if taking to the Fibresand on her return to action.
