I SEE YOU WELL loves it here and is much respected racing off the same mark as when only beaten a length at Fontwell two runs ago. Flying Verse usually needs a run and prefers fast ground while Eragon De Chanay jumped poorly and was pulled up here in December when the selection won, though has improved since for a change of tactics. Captain Tommy has slipped down the weights and was second last time at Leicester but is best on soft going while Friends Don't Ask and Drumlee Watar have a bit to prove at present.
