Schumli has never run beyond 7f but won over that trip here on Saturday for which he's penalised 6lb. LAFONTAINE has been steadily improving and followed a decent effort at Kempton by scoring there on a return visit. She's up 4lb but that's unlikely to prevent another big run and she gets the nod. Dazzling Darren, who finished over 3l back in fourth, was impeded at a crucial stage though isn't much better off at the weights. Villa Paloma has been well beaten in all starts over 7f though makes her handicap debut while Treaty Of Dingle has been placed around here and is consistent enough to expect another good run.
