A seemingly impossible handicap. C&D foes Janika and Siruh Du Lac are worthy of their respective places towards the top of the market, but one can't help but feel that the top-weight will need to be razor sharp in order to hump 11st 12lb to victory. Therefore, the safest approach is to take aim at a handful of better-priced alternatives. Venetia Williams has her string in decent shape at present with the soft-ground proven Didero Vallis of interest along with the Chepstow scorer Eamon An Cnoic. Others in with a possible shout include Polidam and the Festival regular Bouvreuil. However, the pin falls on the unexposed SPIRITOFTHEGAMES.
