In depth
Verdict
Hyperion Du Moulin II, eventually won in good style at Fontwell and this trip should suit. However that was a moderate event and he looks worth taking on with Abbeyknock Boy, who wil be wearing a visor for the first time and on his latest running he has nothing to fear from Hurricane Bay, for whom this sharp track will not be ideal. Peter's Two Fun has yet to convince over this trip and has no easy task under top weight.
