Verdict
Antartica De Thaix finished second at Vichy last summer and has his first start for Paul Nicholls. Act Now was second on her debut at Newton Abbot but was then well beaten at Doncaster while I'm Oscar was fourth at Taunton last month and is open to improvement. But there are several potentially-useful newcomers lining up for this with Look West and See The World both catching the eye on breeding. Brother Khee is a half-brother to versatile stablemate Cousin Khee and Lincoln County is related to a winner on the Fibresand and his yard is in good form. Harry Fry won this last year with a decent sort and HE'S A CHARMER can follow suit. He has both speed and stamina in his pedigree and is sure to know what's required.
