Allez Les Rouges didn't do much in two bumpers and is difficult to fancy even in this very poor contest. King Kieren showed little in bumpers and over hurdles and was beaten a long way over 1m5f here last week but Sirdave's one run on this track produced by far his best performance and he looks a threat. WILY FOX showed a little ability on soft ground in France before transferring to James Eustace. He made a reasonable start behind Flying Phoenix at Wolverhampton and gets a tentative vote to gain his first victory.
