Verdict

C'EST DIFFERENT showed much improved form sent handicapping last season, comfortably making it back-to-back wins when scoring at Chepstow in February, and he could still have more to offer upped in trip. He is taken to see off the challenge of Tranquil Sea, who can bounce back on only his fourth start for his leading yard, while Lihyan also enters calculations.

8	Upped in trip for handicap bow, proved a different proposition when winning easily at Carlisle in February and had little trouble following up at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 5 days later. Open to improvement on return, so he's a major player even as he goes up in in grade. 1st Pick 8 C'est Different (Fr) Jockey: Dylan Johnston Trainer: Sam Thomas J: Dylan Johnston T: Sam Thomas	96	-	-	-	29%	5/2

6	Encouraging second on stable debut, before proving better than when landing handicap at Chepstow (23.6f) last month. Wasn't in the same form at Newbury next time, but he's had a wind op since with tongue strap now reapplied. No surprise to see him bounce back. 2nd Pick 6 Tranquil Sea (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	23%	7/2

5	Has won 5 times over hurdles for current connections, with latest success at Huntingdon (25f) in May. Has continued in good heart since, running well upped in grade when third at Newbury (24.3f, good to soft) 20 days ago, and he could be in the mix once more. 3rd Pick 5 Lihyan (Ire) Jockey: William Maggs Trainer: Rebecca Menzies J: William Maggs T: Rebecca Menzies	99	-	-	-	25%	3/1
