Verdict

This represents a drop back in class for LE BEAU GARCON, and with stall 3 a handy position to attack from, he's selected to register a first handicap win. As you would expect, there's depth to this contest, with So Smart and The Dunkirk Lads feared most.

  1. LE BEAU GARCON
  2. SO SMART (IRE)
  3. THE DUNKIRK LADS
