Verdict

Lots in with chances as one would expect for a race of this nature. Foxtail Hill is likely to set a searching gallop, but he may face competition for the lead which could compromise his chance. There should not be much between him and Le Prezien on their recent running at this track, while the latter's stable companion Romain De Senam is progressive and has to enter the equation. The selection, though, is top-weight KYLEMORE LOUGH, who boasts high-class form none of his rivals can match and is by no means badly handicapped on his first start for a trainer in red-hot form. He can hold off Irish raider Tully East , who won at last season's Cheltenham Festival and may have more improvement in him. Those looking for an outsider could do worse than Plaisir D'amour who is unexposed and represents a trainer always to be respected in big handicaps.
