Race preview
The form of JUVENTUS DE BRION's second at Chepstow has worked out well, with the winner going on to make the frame in a Grade 2. Dan Skelton's charge has undergone wind surgery since and he can get off the mark at the main expense of Benmore, who is entitled to improve for going up in trip if cutting out the mistakes he made when second at Southwell. Placed at Lingfield and Windsor, French Emperor cannot be ruled out either.
