Fivefold has been well beaten on his last three visits to this track but did much better at Lingfield last time. He's well treated nowadays and should get competitive. COLLECT ART, three times a winner over this trip early last summer, was attempting the impossible when sent over 1m2f last time after just being touched off by Pipers Piping at Wolverhampton. He's generally consistent and that latest effort can safely be ignored. Seamie Heffernan, who was on board when Kenton Street gained his first success in 27 starts at Dundalk last month, travels over to take the ride again and his mount looks certain to go well. After a short-head defeat on his debut in June 2009, Pytheas looked sure to quickly lose his maiden tag but has never done so and is probably a few pounds high in the weights, but Peadar Miguel doesn't look badly treated despite poor form figures.
