SCHOTTISCHE (NAP) is a course and distance winner back on a winning mark. A third at Wolverhampton last time suggests he will be winning again soon and it could be today. Incurs Four Faults looks no nearer winning despite a slide down the weights but acts on Fibresand while Little Choosey's earlier win came over 1m2f on fast ground at Nottingham. Greek Islands is another 1m2f winner but has been well beaten of late and Tsarglas has finished tailed off in both starts after returning from a lay-off.
