Verdict

COMTE DE LOIR returns to the scene of his win in January and is taken to notch a second career success. Molten Sea is building up a solid handicap record and is next on the list ahead of Hydroplane, who shaped as if retaining most of this ability when third on his comeback run at Chester at the end of May.
