EURO STARS Get the lowdown on the British and Irish challengers at the Breeders' Cup
THE Byrne Group Handicap Chase looks Rock solid.
SHANTOU ROCK is wonderfully consistent. He’s only been out of the first three once in 12 completed starts over hurdles and fences.
His Aintree third behind Diego Du Charmil in the spring came in a Grade 1 novices’ chase and he’s also chased home the likes of Sceau Royal and Cyrname in chases.
There’s nothing of the calibre of those horse in today’s field so I expect him to take advantage of the cooler contest.
Champagne At Tara notched a couple of wins on decent ground in the summer. His record says he will struggle having gone up in the weights.
Ink Master should help put the pace to the race but he needs to bounce back from a crashing fall last time out.
Vosne Romanee was pulled up behind Modus at Cheltenham last weekend. His hopes rest on the visor he wears for the first time instead of his usual cheekpieces working the oracle.
