Verdict

Improved for the introduction into handicap company last time FLEUR DE VASSY looks set for better in this conditional jockey's handicap hurdle with Kerasoun and Tanktastic two of many more to consider. That third at Huntingdon last time was the selection's best effort over obstacles so given there should be more to come over this longer trip she looks the leading light turning out under the same mark. Consistency hasn't always been Kerasoun's forte but there was a lot to like about his last run when returning from a break and with this more his distance he should be mounting a bold challenge. Tanktastic receives weight all round here and after going great guns until his stamina failed over a longer test last time he should go better now eased in trip. Geography has won this race before but that's becoming a fading memory while stable companion Fort Churchill looks well treated if returning fit after a break. By no means an easy end to the day but Fleur De Vassy has the scope for more and can improve into first place here.
