13/2
Venetia Willams has endured an extremely lean season by her high standards, but there were more positive signs over the weekend and FALCO DES PINS is taken to open his account having shown more after a breathing operation when third at Taunton just over a fortnight ago. This drop back to 2m should suit Count Adhemar, so he's put forward as the main threat, with Icare Colombe seeming best of the rest.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: This could develop into a sprint for home, and Count Adhemar could be well placed to capitalise: Of the better-fancied horses, Blackijo Dagrostis is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Falco Des Pins traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP, 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP 3 times on 5 of its last 5 starts: O'grady's Hill traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on 3 of its last 5 starts.
