Heavy ground at Exeter today. Karl Philippe 1.05 will handle the ground and on his first run over timber today he can win. He was a good winner of his two bumpers and looks progressive. At Chelmsford in the 4.55 Melody Of Life can step forward from his run at Kempton, when he stayed on well to be third, todays extra furlong should help this big horse, who was very green at Kempton, but did well as he started from a bad draw that day. At Deauville 3.07 Honour And Pleasure could well get the better of Alikova in the maiden on the fibresand surface, having been a strong finisher last time when third, he should benefit from that run and has proved he handles the artificial surface, his biggest issue is stall 14.
