Verdict

RULER OF FRANCE is running so well that he's taken to go one better than when just beaten by the in-form Maudlin Magdalen at Bellewstown last week. He had Angel Of Joy close up in third but the latter had every chance and the form should be confirmed. Beat The Ballot showed his liking for fast ground when scoring over the track and trip last month from tonight's rival Mezogiorno but a 10lb rise may stop him in his tracks and the latter has been beaten since. It's two years since Oddysey won a race and he was beaten off this mark here last time.
