Verdict
Megaudais Speed finished in front of Flowing Cadenza when runner-up in this last year though was still beaten a long way. Zyon won carrying top weight at Kempton last week and faces the same task raised 4lb while Gaulois had shown promise in maiden company before struggling in a novices' race at Ascot. But WILLIAM PHILO looked ahead of the handicapper when scoring on soft going over today’s distance at Fontwell and he gets the vote to defy a 6lb rise. Walk Away Now and Braganza Bay are others open to improvement handicapping for the first time.
