SYMPA DES FLOS looks another for the champion trainer though his supporters have already had their fingers burnt twice since he arrived from France. He's been found wanting on the run-in in both starts to date but with the experience behind him and the ground certain to suit he can get off the mark. Dual bumper winner Now Let Go found 2m4f stretching his stamina at Ballinrobe after a much better run over this trip there earlier. Schmidt looks a threat as he gave his useful stable companion Hardline a race at Wexford and wouldn't need much more here while All Good Things has been progressing in bumpers and makes his debut over timber.
