Verdict
Pass Me A Dime is preferred here to Offemont and Madison Du Berlais. The selection fell at Ascot last time but prior to that he looked a progressive sort and he will have no problem handling today's testing conditions. Providing his confidence has not been affacted by that fall last time then he should take plenty of beating. Offemont goes on the ground and he has got some decent French form, but he needs a longer trip to be seen at his best and for that reason he is taken on. Madison Du Berlais finished fourth behind Nadover at Chepstow last time and although he handles this ground he does appear to be in the grip of the handicapper at present. Green Belt Flyer will also relish the ground but he has yet to translate his best Irish form over here and he may be best watched. This looks to be a good opportunity for Pass Me A Dime to resume winning ways and he gets the confident vote.
