Verdict
Fitness should not be a concern with Sametegal but Romain De Senam looks his stable's best hope. He allayed stamina concerns at Chepstow last Sunday, though is now 6lb higher and tackling a softer surface. Bristol De Mai has the class to go close under a big weight but Voix D'eau is less reliable. Dresden is capable on his day but there should be more to come from DAYS OF HEAVEN, who was far from disgraced in a Listed handicap at Market Rasen in July having rattled up a hat-trick in the spring.
