Verdict
Vision Des Flos won off a higher mark over fences last season but may find a few of these too fleet-footed. Pyramid Place got back to winning ways at Cartmel in the spring and remains well treated but THIRTYFOURSTITCHES was probably feeling the effects of a long season when disappointing at Fakenham in April. He has a good strike-rate and will have been freshened up by a break. San Giovanni is having a first run since September but did win here last summer.
