Jeu De Mots will be happy facing fences again after finishing tailed off on the Flat at Carlisle but was 26 lengths behind EVER SO MUCH here in June and is only 9lb better off with the top weight, who can be excused a subsequent run over hurdles at Uttoxeter over a trip too far. Though Mash Potato has yet to place over fences there has been some promise in his four runs. Burning Issues is only a pound higher than when scoring at Sedgefield in April but he has a terrible strike-rate.
