NOTRE AMI made all for a very convincing victory at Fontwell in June and that was on good going so this Polytrack surface may suit. He has a penalty to carry but is taken to make a successful return to action. Cesar Et Rosalie made a promising start at Killarney for Adrian Maguire and that was also on quick ground as were the two runs of Groundunderrepair last winter. Both can go well while Radical Archie made an encouraging debut at Punchestown in April and has joined Evan Williams so he's one to keep an eye on. Forsmile attracted a bit of support at Newton Abbot but may not have been suited by the very fast ground.
