Verdict
Marie Des Anges still isn't foot-perfect and steps up a grade after her second at Fontwell. We prefer FALCARRAGH, who may need this longer trip nowadays though wasn't disgraced behind King's Grey on his reappearance at Aintree. Foundation Man showed a bit more here last time and is well handicapped nowadays but Mr Moss has plenty to prove and Valleyofmilan has had a six-month break and is still 5lb higher than when scoring at Bangor last August.
