Verdict

CAID DU BERLAIS is already a winner here having taken a Grade 3 contest a few years ago and he has impressed in winning three point-to-points since joining his current trainer. The selection has won on both soft and heavy ground in the past and is taken to get the better of former stablemate Wonderful Charm . He ran well to finish runner-up in this race last year and was the impressive winner of his sole start this time around. Of the remainder Foxrock has won at the highest level in the past and should appreciate the soft ground that's forecast.
  1. Caid Du Berlais
