Verdict
Made In France can continue his progress up the ranks at the expense of Wizard Of Edge and Gracilis. Martin Pipe's recent recruit from France has been a revelation thus far and on recent evidence, a 7lb penalty should not stop him from posting a third success on the bounce. Wizard Of Edge has done little wrong for Ron Hodges but his current handicap mark of 125 looks harsh for what he has achieved. Gracilis always threatens to win races but was a little disappointing at Perth on his last start. Artane Boys possesses ability but looks to have a little bit of temperament about him. This may explain the application of headgear today so some caution is advised. Welcome To Unos is watched on a return to the racecourse after something of an absence. Fait Le Jojo was a useful hurdler in his younger days but this is probably a pipe-opener ahead of a return to chasing. Bay Kenny's trainer had a winner earlier in the week and he is observed in the market here. Made In France gets our call.
