We said6th of 9, beaten 4¾ at 15/2
TRUE LOVE 9/1
FALLEN ANGEL is the only confirmed front-runner, and he is not our selection — and this is a track where that matters: front-runners here win 3.4 times their share of these races. An uncontested lead could be decisive, which is the risk to ours.
TRUE LOVE at 9/1, A P O'Brien and Pierre-Charles Boudot, looks the most likely of these. He won by 5 lengths and was raised only 9lb for it, leaving 3.5lb in hand and has won here.
The one worry is wrong side of the draw.
The dangers are FALLEN ANGEL at 10/1 (a course winner) and PRECISE at 9/4 (went close off this mark).
