Verdict

Venetia Willams has endured an extremely lean season by her high standards, but there were more positive signs over the weekend and FALCO DES PINS is taken to open his account having shown more after a breathing operation when third at Taunton just over a fortnight ago. This drop back to 2m should suit Count Adhemar, so he's put forward as the main threat, with Icare Colombe seeming best of the rest.

  1. FALCO DES PINS (FR)
  2. COUNT ADHEMAR (IRE)
  3. ICARE COLOMBE (FR)
