Verdict

FRENCH MASTER looked every inch the smart prospect he's bred to be when bolting up in a Kempton novice over this trip when last seen in October and can make a successful return/handicap debut before having his sights raised. El Cordobes is another with a bit of class about him and is a big player. The mare Speriamo could go well at bigger odds.

1	Off the mark in 1m Kempton novice in January 2024 and in good form in Dubai earlier this year, finding a strong-finishing stablemate too good at the death in handicap over this trip when last seen 3 months ago. Could have more to offer still. 2nd Pick 1 El Cordobes (Ire) Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby J: William Buick T: Charlie Appleby	97	-	-	-	23%

8	In the form of her life back in the autumn, better than ever when regaining the winning thread at Wolverhampton in October. Unlucky not to finish even closer when a close third back there 11 days later and she's one to keep on side this year. 3rd Pick 8 Speriamo Jockey: Warren Fentiman Trainer: Philip Mcbride J: Warren Fentiman T: Philip Mcbride	99	-	-	-	7%
