This is a poor contest but Princesse Fleur has won over fences, at Stratford in July of last year, though has only had two starts since. The Omen is usually thereabouts at this level and Winged Express was second at Towcester last month in between a couple of fair runs over hurdles. Jaunty Inflight was just beaten at Uttoxeter in December but hasn't reproduced that effort in two starts since. NOT FOR YOU was backed as if defeat was out of the question here in September but fell at the first. He's not been seen since but will presumably have had plenty of schooling and, now sporting headgear, Charles Byrnes' raider is fancied to recoup losses.
