De Vous A Moi won at Catterick and Uttoxeter earlier this year but reappears off a high enough mark and his stable is struggling for winners at present. It’s a while since Indian Voyage showed any worthwhile form and Back To Bracka is also best watched but veteran Isla Pearl Fisher could give a good account and Plus Jamais should have more to offer this season. BERNARDELLI failed to complete in his first two runs over fences but overcame trouble in-running when winning by nine lengths at Doncaster in December. A repeat of that effort here would probably suffice.
