SYMPA DES FLOS finished runner-up in a Listed contest at Auteuil on his debut though that was two years ago and he didn't reappear until last month when beaten at odds-on at Downpatrick. That should have brought him to concert-pitch and he can gain compensation. Winning point-to-pointer Celebrity Status and Gordon Elliott's Isodon are held on that run while Henry De Bromhead's winning point-to-pointers Dicey O'reilly and Trainwreck should do better over further. Chatham Street Lad made a very promising debut over the minimum on heavy going here in March and if ready after a break could be the one to give the likely favourite a race though Shaw's Cross also made an encouraging start here last month and looks certain to improve.
