MONSIEUR D'ARQUE may prove a safer choice than River Bray who let himself down badly last time but still comes out top on official figures. The selection made all to win at Ludlow recenlty and a similar effort for his in-form yard may well be good enough. If River Bray can bounce back from his disappointing Southwell display he would be a massive danger. Jacamar sprang a surprise win on his hurdling bow and further improvement cannot be ruled out, while the filly Powerful Society looks best of the rest on recent evidence.
