        Verdict

        The dead eight rock up for this seven furlong handicap and while the recent form of Rubenstar catches the eye MONSIEUR FILLIOUX looks progressive and can get off the mark in handicap here while Ektimaal goes well at this venue and can run into the places. Despite not being the easiest to train the selection keeps returning with purpose and catching the eye. He put in his best effort since landing his maiden when finding just the one too good at Kempton last time and with some strength to that form he can improve again and go one better. Ruberstar has consistently troubled the judge and ran well under this revised mark last time following victory over distance at Lingfield. He should run his race again but he could be exposed if the pick continues to improve. Ektimaal has won two of his three course and distance starts and although a little high in the weights to win Ed Dunlops charge should be competitive. Canivore also has to be considered after his run last time but with the handicapper getting to grips with that one we turn to Monsieur Fillioux.
