Verdict

TOM DONIPHON and Sorceleur stand out. The former saw off a couple of in-form rivals in comfortable fashion on his handicap debut over C&D last week and gets the nod to go in again given he escapes a penalty for that success. The latter has been handed a stiff-looking mark but remains with lots of potential.

  1. TOM DONIPHON (FR)
  2. SORCELEUR (FR)
  3. COASTAL ROCK (FR)
