Verdict

PLACENET could be on a very lenient mark starting out in Britain based on his French form, so he's well worth chancing over this longer trip. Buddy One is 9 lb higher than when winning at Galway last month but he seems sure to give another good account tackling a new trip that ought to be within range, while Judicial Law ran a cracker over C&D on his most recent outing and needs taking seriously, too.
