SYMPA DES FLOS made his racecourse debut in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil just over two years ago and finished second. The lack of a recent run won't be a problem and he looks to have been found an ideal opportunity. Celebrity Status has won between the flags and run reasonably well in two starts over hurdles though probably needs further, a remark that also applies to Out Of The Loop. Victoria Says looked reasonably progressive in the spring and was only beaten a neck at Hexham.
