Verdict

Several make appeal in this 0-100 but HARDY BUCK is unpenalised for his recent Exeter success (due to race off 7 lb higher in future) and may be able to follow up. There wasn't much to separate Square Du Roule and Ask Her Out at Exeter and both should be in the mix again off revised terms, providing they see out the longer trip, while Elusive Knight could be a very interesting handicap debutant tackling 3m for the first time.

  1. HARDY BUCK (IRE)
  2. SQUARE DU ROULE (FR)
  3. ASK HER OUT (IRE)
