Le Drapeau was held up well off the pace at Carlisle last month. He made late headway and the longer trip will suit. Game On could reverse Uttoxeter running with Indian Hercules on 6lb better terms but the second in that race was well beaten at Wincanton earlier this week. Winning pointer Knight In Dubai is sent over hurdles after just one run in a bumper but does have a bit to prove so we’ll stick with WEMYSS POINT, who comfortably beat a previous winner over course and distance last month on only his second run over timber.
