Furkash had a chance when unseating at Stratford then made too many mistakes at Wincanton. Venetia Williams' horses remain in top form and Fort Denison was returning from a very long break when well beaten at Lingfield. It's two years since LE COEUR NET gained the last of his five victories over fences but he's dropped to a lowly mark as a consequence and could be good enough. Winning hurdler Just Go For It was beaten a long way on her chasing debut here last month but should have learned plenty while Family Pot would have to be considered if the ground quickened up, as seems likely.
