Plenty of candidates to take the honours and those with a sentimental bent will be rooting for Venetia Williams to take this with Burtons Well with the race being named after last year’s ill-fated winner Houblon Des Obeaux. He needs to bounce back from a poor run last time as does On Tour who was placed in this last year. Dark Flame was second past the post in a void race here last time but his return run gives him a chance if he doesn’t hit a flat spot. JEPECK looks to have been saved for this though having run over hurdles of late his second to Scottish National winner Takingrisks reads well. King’s Odyssey and Smooth Stepper 1-2 at Warwick last time should also enter calculations.
  1. Jepeck
