VOIX D'EAU (NAP) was always holding Art Mauresque last month at Cheltenham and a 5lb rise in the weights is hardly restrictive. The second franked the form at Newton Abbot earlier this week and Harry Fry's progressive six-year-old can score again here with Mikey Legg able to claim his full allowance this time. Doctor Harper had a blip last time but remains open to further improvement. Un Noble bounced back from a poor run at Naas to win again at Newcastle but could find the ground quick enough now. Bodega could figure off bottom weight but Javert's jumping remains a concern.
