Verdict
THE FOX'S DECREE went the closest yet to finally winning when finishing third at Exeter earlier this month. Martin Keighley's charge is given one more chance and should confirm running with sixth-placed Man Of Leisure who has gone close on more than one occasion himself. E Street Boy turned in a better effort at Taunton last time but more is needed here, while Salto Des Mottes may improve for the longer trip having looked one-paced over 2m recently. Kaycee looks best of the remainder if he's on one of his going days.
