Swiss Art was undoubtedly flattered by his win at Hexham at the start of the month as he was beaten out of sight at Carlisle a week later. San Telm made a satisfactory reappearance at Fontwell and will strip fitter here while Loose Chips is another likely improver and Semi Colon shouldn't fail through lack of fitness and has the past form to figure. PARC DES PRINCES wouldn't want the ground to get any softer but should just about handle conditions here and looked in good heart when chasing home Compton Blue at Huntingdon. His defeat of Pas Trop Tard at Market Rasen in August has worked out well and he could be worth an interest in this. Star In Flight hasn't shown much lately but this is a bit easier than recent tasks.
