Verdict

C'EST QUELQU'UN hasn't yet matched the level of his fair French chasing form for Sean Curran, but he's gradually been taking steps in the right direction and produced his best hurdling effort to date at this course 10 days ago, so he should take all the beating racing from the same mark. Cheng Gong has been running consistently well this year, whilst recent winner Pilsdon Pen is also considered.
