Georges Saint scored twice over fences in France and chasing is probably where his future lies. Beaten a long way into second over this trip at Leicester last time, he looks vulnerable and VANDEMERE looks the one to beat. A winner between the flags in Ireland, he couldn't get close to the odds-on Snake Roll over course and distance on Boxing Day but the winner was placed in a Grade 2 on Saturday. Lucinda Russell's yard is in top form and Giovinco cost £85,000 after landing a point at Dromahane in November. Haveanothergoflo has also won an Irish point and will be better for last month's run at Ayr.
