Realignment has become expensive to follow while Grand Art is unreliable. FOLIE A DEUX drops into a seller for the first time and has every chance on his latest third at Newcastle. With the weights compacted, he should prove hard to beat though Lucky Score recorded her sole success over this C&D in 2010 and wasn't beaten that far at Towcester last month. Bollin Fiona is also capable of making an impression at this level.
