Another brain burning handicap for backers to solve with plenty in this having a chance of getting their heads in front. Raising The Bar is hard to ignore given his connections and he should appreciate this more galloping test he’s been set on his handicap debut. Both Superkalanistic and Espoir De Loire have to bounce back from disappointments last time but a return to this C&D may provide a spark for the latter. Tempuran isn’t out of this if he can step forward again from his latest outing but progress again is what DISCKO DES PLAGES has a chance of doing. He’s still fairly unexposed and despite a mark which looks on the stiff side is given a chance to make his mark here.
