Lombok struggles to get his head in front but should be approaching peak fitness now. Veteran Midnight Spirit can't be ruled out while it would be no surprise to see an improved performance from Adajal and Fair Breeze wasn't beaten far at Towcester in may before finishing fourth over 2m4f here the following month, though the drop back in trip is a bit of a worry. LE CORVEE is still capable of making his presence felt in this grade and gets a tentative vote having won over fences last year off a 22lb higher mark, though any market interest in Flowerbud after a break might be significant.
