CHENG GONG has only found one too good in his last three outings racing off today’s mark. He handles all types of going and deserves a change of luck. Whispering Gypsy had no chance in a Listed race at Kempton last month and should find this easier while London Eye was running well at Worcester in the autumn and had a pipe-opener on the all-weather nine days ago. Fanfan Du Seuil is better than he showed at Wincanton at the start of the month with Southwell winner Get Prepared and the consistent maiden Henschke also worthy of consideration.
