FLEGMATIK (1) missed the placings in the G1 Ascot Steeple Chase (4200m) two back then did a better job to wind-up second in a steeplechase (4100m) at this track last time out. Sure to prove hard to beat. MENAGGIO (3) made a strong return from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (4300m) at Kelso, finishing second when partnered by today's jockey Tom Cannon. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal. IDEAL DES BORDES (5) unfortunately did not finish the race on his jumps debut in a steeplechase (4110m) at this track. Worth plenty of thought. YOUNG BUSTER (4) resumes from a spell of two months. Had just the one run last campaign, finishing seventh in a steeplechase (4810m) at Doncaster. Capable type with top-three prospects.
