Verdict

The betting will likely prove most informative but fairly useful Flat winner CONFUSED appeals as a likely type on paper starting out for the Faye Bramley yard and with the booking of Harry Cobden an obvious plus, he could be the way to go. Sacre Chef was a comfortable winner of his sole start on the Flat in France and commands clear respect debuting for Dan Skelton, whilst Tokyo Tower is another likely type judged on his Flat exploits in Ireland.
