Foie Gras scored over track and trip last month and is upped a further 4lb. He should still confirm running with Tango Sky, Arabian Flight and Spirit Of Gondree but the veteran SMALLJOHN may prove more troublesome. The prolific course winner is now back on a winning mark and should go very close having finished ahead of Queen Aggie when fourth here last time. Sewn Up is another to consider on last week's second over course and distance with Munaawib back in seventh.
