Race Overview
After an encouraging much-needed comeback outing over an inadequate shorter distance, CEDRUS (3) seems the most likely winner of this even given the favourable conditions. However, top-rated WILD HORSES (1) acquitted himself well in a better race/field at Vichy last time and will also appreciate heavy ground so he should pose a threat. Last-start winner LA DO RE (5) is open to further progress and her chances aren't/shouldn't be underestimated, especially with Alexis Pouchin in the irons.
