Verdict

RAFFLES HERMES shaped notably well when runner-up at Wincanton and, with that form proving strong, he's taken to go one better. Hat-trick seeker Falco des Pins is a solid rival, though.

1	A fair 2m chase winner in France in May and ran by far his best race in Britain when second in 7-runner handicap at Wincanton (15.7f, heavy) on latest start, impressing with how quickly he got into contention. Looks ready to strike. 1st Pick 1 Raffles Hermes (Fr) Jockey: Harry Kimber Trainer: Robert Walford J: Harry Kimber T: Robert Walford	100	-	-	-	25%	3/1

2	Capitalised on a falling mark with something to spare at Ludlow (2m) in February and followed up in similarly comfortable fashion at Leicester (15.9f) last week. Remains well treated on pick of his French form and hat-trick certainly looks possible. 2nd Pick 2 Falco Des Pins (Fr) Jockey: Ned Fox Trainer: Venetia Williams J: Ned Fox T: Venetia Williams	99	-	-	-	46%	6/5

3	Is more consistent than most at this level and belied market unease to get off the mark in 5-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (17f, soft, 10/1) on most recent outing, responding well. Should remain competitive at the very least. 3rd Pick 3 Sanitiser Jockey: Tom Cannon Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore J: Tom Cannon T: Gary & Josh Moore	98	-	-	-	34%	2/1
