Verdict

There are a few C&D winners in this field, which is encouraging for their chances over a trip that usually suits a certain type of horse, and ROUGE NUAGE is one of those contenders. Having shown a liking for this course in general, Conrad Allen's gelding is generally lightly-raced but almost always runs his race when he does turn up, and he looks capable of defying the biggest weight in the field here. Parkour steps up to 7f for the first time but has been running consistently enough recently to be of serious interest, while Joey's Destiny ran in some relatively high-quality handicaps in his prime and should also not be discounted.
  1. Rouge Nuage
  2. Parkour
  3. Joey's Destiny
