Verdict
Fox Le Bel has attracted good support on several occasions but his supporters have had their fingers burnt. Favori Logique looked as though he needed a stamina test when runner-up at Punchestown and is likely to get that here while Flynsini and Dubai Devils battled to a 1-2 over 3m on heavy ground at Navan with the weights just favouring the runner-up. ROBIN DEUZ POIS, a winner over just short of this trip at Newcastle last March, has been racing over shorter which won't have suited. This shouldn't take much winning and he can return to winning ways.
