PROTEK DES FLOS was returning to form when winning at Wincanton last time out and he can register his second victory of the season stepping up in trip today. The selection represents the in form Nicky Henderson (11/31) stable and he is taken to see off his rivals today with Taquin Du Seuil, dropping in grade today capable of finishing runner-up under his big weight while Arthur's Gift can take third as he bids for a fourth win of the season.
