Verdict

FIDELIO VALLIS was a bit disappointing on his last 2 starts for Paul Nicholls but the handicapper has given him a chance on his return from 13 months off and his new yard has made a bright start. This does look competitive though, with Gold des Bois and Return Ticket heading the dangers.

  1. FIDELIO VALLIS (FR)
  2. GOLD DES BOIS (FR)
  3. RETURN TICKET (IRE)
