ROI DE FRANCE (3) returns from a layoff of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Great Yarmouth. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Sure to make his presence felt. HEATHCLIFF (7) was prominent from the outset when second over 1200m at this track last time out. Has a solid record here over this trip. Daniel Muscutt who has three wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. MOUNT ATHOS (2) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1500m in Listed grade at Deauville All Weather on December 4. Sure to make his presence felt. NIKOVO (6) turned things around last start and landed the prize by a neck over 1400m at Newcastle All Weather. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
