Verdict

Verdict

The classy LOSANGE BLEU (1) is back and, generally effective on his reappearances, is the obvious favourite to make a winning return. Another high-quality comeback runner, KYROV (4) holds leading claims for second. Returning after his superb second in the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris, BON GARCON (2) should also be involved, while DIAMOND DICE (5) is a notch below his rivals on ability and may have to settle for fourth.

Top Tip: Losange Bleu (1)
Watch out for: Bon Garcon (2)
