Another good contest in which Joueur Bresilien could take some stopping if the introduction of cheekpieces have the desired effect, having chased home subsequent winner, Robinshill, on his chasing debut over C&D. Marginal preference, however, is for COPAIN DE CLASSE who showed real promise when bustling up subsequent Grade 2 winner Benatar for a long way on his chasing debut over a longer trip at Ascot. Sister Sibyl looks the most interesting of the remainder with this drop in trip likely to work in her favour.
