Caro Des Flos won a Downpatrick maiden for Willie Mullins a year ago but has been well beaten in all starts for new connections. MR DORRELL SAGE (NAP) hadn't shown much before a much better run at Wincanton when not beaten far and this shouldn't take much winning. It's a very long time since Finula last ran but he has a course victory to his credit and starts out for Dan Skelton on a very lowly mark. Oxford Blu was there with a chance when falling two out at Market Rasen and his rider's 10lb claim is a major bonus but Mischievous would prefer plenty of cut in the ground.
