STONEFIELD FLYER only just failed to to land a course and distance double last week under a heavy burden. This doesn't look much tougher despite carrying top weight again as Cloak And Degas has been threatening to open his account off similar marks of late without actually doing so and stablemate Armelle remains 9lb higher than when last winning. Jubilee Brig has yet to win on turf and both of Danot's previous wins came in plating races. Fast Finian won a claimer here last year but has not raced since August.
