Pharpost makes the odd blunder or two but he can account for Commanche Hero and Bassano. Venetia Williams' charge seems at his best in small fields and while he is not adverse to the odd error, there is every chance that a short break will have reawakened his enthusiasm. Commanche Hero ran poorly on his last race but he handles fast ground and should not be inconvenienced by the trip. Blazing Hills is held on that line of form. Bassano is plenty exposed but another who will handle the surface and is not totally out of this despite the fact that he will need to find a few pounds on the book. Jacquemart Colombe used to run for Guillame Macaire in France and is watched in the market. Red Perk has been disappointing of late. Monty's Quest was entered to run on Wednesday at Market Rasen. Having considered the alternatives, Pharpost is our selection.
