Verdict

A good quality handicap. COLOMBIER looked seriously unlucky not to add to his tally in a Goodwood handicap back in July and with his latest run in France best overlooked (looked after when chance had gone) he looks worthy of siding with to prove his mark an exploitable one on all-weather debut. Valvano has an unexposed profile himself on this surface and is a threat, along with Force and Valour. Cosi Bello completes the dangers.

7	A 4-time winner in France who made it second time lucky for this yard in handicap at Epsom on Oaks Day in June and mightily unlucky not to add to his tally in another big field event at Goodwood in July. Wide position did him no favours at Longchamp and he's on a workable mark on all-weather debut. 1st Pick 7 Colombier Jockey: James Doyle Trainer: Hamad Al Jehani J: James Doyle T: Hamad Al Jehani	100	-	-	-	19%	9/2

1	Showed benefit of both a gelding and breathing operation after 5 months off when landing 13-runner Southwell handicap (7f) in August (form franked). Disappointed next time but best not judged too harshly on his subsequent mid-field effort in Balmoral at Ascot. Interesting back on all-weather. 2nd Pick 1 Valvano (Ire) Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: Ralph Beckett J: Hector Crouch T: Ralph Beckett	97	-	-	-	13%	7/1

6	4-y-o who enjoyed a productive spell in Meydan earlier this year, resuming winning ways over 1m in January and quickly dispelled a lesser effort when second over same C&D a month later. Has a career-high mark to defy returned to Britain but respected nevertheless with Billy Loughnane booked. 3rd Pick 6 Force And Valour (Ire) Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: George Scott J: Billy Loughnane T: George Scott	93	-	-	-	23%	7/2
