Verdict

Lorient Express, Brigadier Du Bois and Flower of Pitcur look the three to concentrate on in this competitive affair and the tentative vote goes to Brigadier Du Bois. The selection was a good second behind Fantasmick last time out off this mark and if he can run up to that form here he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Lorient Express rates the main danger on his latest second behind Nagano last time but he found little off the bridle on that occasion and for that reason he is over looked. Flower Of Pitcur was a fair third behind Amadeus last time having stumbled two out he could not recover. However he should at least gain his revenge on that horse here on these revised terms. Of the remainder Silver Inngot will appreciate the drop back to this trip and is one to note in the market but for the winner we return to Brigadier Du Bois
