Delatite couldn't match strides with Searching For Gold here last month though it was a fair effort and further progress is anticipated. Kaveman tried to make all over 1m5f at Fontwell but couldn't keep up the pace and has further to go here. MADAME FIONA looked badly in need of experience at Exeter last month but kept on strongly once getting the hang of the job and her allowance can see her home. Honest Vic looked in need of a much stiffer test at Ludlow and appears unlikely to get it here but Kala Castle showed up well for a long way at Warwick and will have come on nicely. Smiley hasn't beaten one home in his two starts.
