Libre looked on the way back to his best last time out and can take this weak contest, Im Ova Ere Dad and Smart Cat could be the best alternatives. Frank Jordan's charge travelled like the winner for most of that Chepstow contest, however he hung when hitting the fronm allowing Foolish Groom to take first prize. If he keeps on the straight and narrow tonight he should go close. I'm Ova Ere Dad won well on the all-weather last time out and if repeating that effort on the turf he will be in the shake up. Smart Cat disappointed a little last time out but is better judged on her previous run over this trip at Sandown when a decent second behind Optimus. Mugeba is another with place claims in a tricky contest, but Libre comes here in good heart and he gets the vote.
