Verdict

FRENCH DIABLO showed marked improvement when third over C&D 13 days ago, shaping as if ahead of his initial mark and likely to have won but for losing vital momentum twice late on. He's fancied to come out on top. Brionywells has thrived this summer with back-to-back wins and should be competitive now she's been freshened up, while Son Of Tyran could bounce back in first-time blinkers.
