Mr Supreme was always going well when finally getting off the mark over fences at Newcastle but he's been raised 9lb for that success, which looks harsh. Chavoy was still beaten 18 lengths when second over 3m here last time but the slightly longer trip is probably in his favour while Nodform Richard also stays well. Simarthur will have found the trip too short on his fencing bow at Doncaster and also warrants a second look. ISLA PEARL FISHER has won twice around here and is eased in grade this afternoon. He may still have the legs to give the weight away to these.
