I'm Wiser Now had every chance here last month but again found little off the bridle. It’s more than 12 months since FUMET D’OUDAIRES completed a four-time between the flags but the six-year-old could be a useful recruit to the hunter chase ranks and can defy his absence. The Triple Pillar has shown some ability this season while Captain McGinley was fourth over further at Wincanton and should strip fitter today. Rebel Dawn Rising and Barrack Hill may be best of the rest.
