Sarah Humphrey is proving a trainer to follow with the shrewd placement of her inmates regularly catching the eye. Her FLEMI TWO TOES has already scored twice for the yard this term and impressed with his attitude when obliging at Folkestone last time. Trip and ground are fine and he gets the vote over a similar sort in Elton Fox. The latter, a fair bumper performer, toughed it out really well when outpointing Avenging Ace at Uttoxeter and there has to be more to come from him on that evidence as it was only his second hurdles outing. Venetia Williams reaches for the blinkers for the enigmatic Credit Swap, whilst Advisor has ability but has never travelled this far and Quinte Du Chatelet looks a likelier sort for the Pipe yard on this return to timber.
