Cafe Au Lait was only beaten half-a-length at Catterick after winning at Wetherby but this will be his third race in a short space of time. Episode just lasted home over 2m here last month so a step back up in trip is a worry off a 3lb higher mark. SAINT CAJETAN failed to recover lost ground after being hampered here in January but still has scope for improvement on only his second start in a handicap so get the nod. The Wise One may also be capable of better but Parc Des Princes is not getting any younger and hasn’t won since 2014.
