Butler's Brief is back on a winning mark while Presenting Yeats won twice in small fields in the autumn. Grace A Vous Enki has been dropped a couple of pounds since a third at Doncaster in February but we’ll forgive GRILLON DE MONTY a below-par effort here 11 days ago as he’d been impressive at Huntingdon the time before. Biowavego won twice last year but clearly has something to prove at present.
