7/1

Honest hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials at a higher level, including Quinte+ handicaps. Would've tightened up with the benefit of a comeback outing (8th) over 2000m at Vichy on 29 July - keep safe

Consistent for the most part but not as effective, albeit in better/stronger races, off a higher mark. Unplaced in 2 comeback outings recently, the latest (12th) in a handicap over 2200m at Dieppe on 23 July. Should do better

Race Overview

BARBATE (2) revealed considerable means last year (course-and-distance winner last June) but has disappointed this term, failing to build on that promise. This, however, represents a significant drop in class and is an ideal opportunity to get his career back on track with a morale-boosting return to winning ways. Consistent veteran mare L'INDOMPTABLE (3) ticks lots of boxes, too, being a course-and-distance specialist with proven references/form credentials in this category. GAIDAR (4) and LAOS (5) are competitive for a podium berth.
