Verdict
Molineaux is still a maiden but ran a couple of excellent races last month at Ascot, one over a similar trip to this. The stable also run three-year-old Padleyourowncanoe, successful at Exeter on his handicap debut. Cesar Et Rosalie probably needed his run at Sandown last month and Garo De Juilley has been placed in both starts this campaign, though is getting no help from the handicapper. THE WELSH PADDIES (NAP) had Molineaux eight lengths behind when beating a subsequent winner at Warwick. There should be more come from Christian Williams’ charge, who has Richard Johnson in the saddle so is preferred to stablemate Caviar D'allen. Polly's Pursuit was in decent form in the summer but hasn’t raced since June.
