DUC DE BOURBON shaped better than the bare result on both handicap starts last season and looks interesting now back in trip after 15 weeks off, so he receives the vote. Ayr of Elegance is 7 lb higher than for her C&D win last time, but can't be discounted in her current mood, with Manor Park also feared under a penalty.
