It would be no surprise to see the nicely-drawn and undeniably well-handicapped Methaaly go close under Richard Hughes on his return to turf but preference is for AVONVALLEY. She went really close on her last turf start here back in November and she arrives on the back of an encouraging third to Chjimes at Lingfield earlier this month. Boucher Garcon is clearly in good heart and he may appreciate the better ground compared to when second here 10 days ago. Punching is another to consider.
