Le Coeur Net goes well here but was well beaten at Fontwell on Saturday and the drying ground wouldn’t be in his favour. Nor will conditions suit Chef D'equipe but they won’t bother THE FLYING SOFA and Gary Moore’s charge can give the weight away to fellow course winner Fairway Freddy, who is in danger of becoming disappointing.
The Flying Sofa (FR) 7-2 (11-12) In rear, not fluent 2nd, tried to close in 5th before 3 out, no impression, well beaten 2 out, 5th of 8, dist behind Le Cameleon (12-0) at Fontwell 2m 3f hcp (4) gs in Feb.
Fairway Freddy (IRE) 9-2 (11-8) Bit keen, mostly tracked leading pair, pushed along and outpaced after 3 out, finished tired, 3rd of 4, dist behind Early Du Lemo (11-4) at Plumpton 2m 1f hcp (4) sft in Feb.
Chef D'Equipe (FR) 16-1 (11-12) Led until 4th, pressed leader, led again next until 7th, lost 2nd at 10th, lost place next, poor 5th when pulled up before 2 out, at Huntingdon 2m 4f hcp (4) sft in Feb.
Le Coeur Net (FR) 5-1 (11-12) Chased leading pair until lost place before 4th, struggling in 4th before 4 out, rallied into 3rd next, no impression when weakened into 4th before the last, 4th of 5, 22 1/2l behind Rose Sea Has (12-4) at Fontwell 2m 2f hcp (4) gs in Mar.
