A number of these are returning from lay-offs so caution and a market check is advised. Kk Lexion is heading towards a fair mark and has been lightly campaigned this season. Vivas has run well in decent company the last twice at Ascot and is still at the right end of the handicap but so is STICK TO THE PLAN. Dan Skelton’s charge ran well over 3m here in October and was later second to an improver at Market Rasen. He only weakened on the run-in last time at Kempton and cheekpieces should aid concentration today. Carlos Du Fruitier should be capable of better on the quicker surface and Brave Eagle is better than he showed in last month’s Martin Pipe. Verni has been chasing, however, and so has Colin's Brother. Diable De Sivola has proved frustrating to follow but will probably pop up somewhere when least expected.
