Verdict
Taquin Du Seuil is a class act on his day and has a decent overall strike rate but he'll possibly need his first run of the season. Irish import Band Of Blood is best watched on his first start since June while the Venetia Williams' pair Niceonefrankie and Marcilhac were both pulled up in their only run so far this term. Galway Jack should go well, however, after a couple of seconds at Kempton though COGRY (NAP) is preferred. He's won both previous starts here and, though probably better over further, can make the most of his stamina on the prevailing ground with Jamie Bargary's claim a plus.
