COUNT D'ORSAY has been in fine form of late, resuming winning ways at Haydock and running a big race in defeat back at that venue last time, finding only another at the top of his game too good. He gets the nod to come out on top in a competitive small-field affair. Acclaim The Nation on debut for Michael Attwater and Ainsdale head up the dangers.
