Race preview
HACKER DES PLACES has some smart form in the book from his native France and could make his UK/stable debut a winning one for Paul Nicholls. The three-year-old has to carry a 6lb penalty for a success at Dax in June, but Bryan Carver's claim accounts for most of that, and the pair are preferred ahead of stablemate Viroflay, who could only finish fourth at Kempton last week when well fancied. Iron Heart cost 28,000gns at the sales in August and is also noted.
