DE VOUS A MOI had to contend with a big hike in the weights after winning at Uttoxeter in March but has still gone close in a couple of subsequent starts. He found only one too good at Ayr a fortnight ago and Sue Smith's chaser gets the nod in this. A winner at Newcastle, Voyage A New York remains 5lb higher on his return to action but Elenika can race off a lower mark on his first start since April last year. Indian Temple was placed in Ireland on a couple of occasions in August and debuts for a new yard here and Cody Wyoming went close over 2m on fast ground at Kempton last month. Supreme Asset has slipped down the weights but has yet to show any benefit.
