TAPIS LIBRE went close at Doncaster off today's mark last week. Mick Easterby's charge drops down a grade for this and can end a long losing run. Last Supper won a maiden race at Southwell in January and has scored over hurdles since while Fillydelphia wasn't beaten that far when fourth at Newcastle last time, ahead of Applejack Lad, and can also figure. Schmooze is not badly handicapped as she returns to action and may prove best of the rest.
