DEFI SACRE is already a winner over fences as he scored in France very early into his career. He made one big mistake last time at Fakenham which probably cost him his chance but take him to go one place better here. Sporting Press was second over this C&D on his latest appearance and should be expected to be in the mix once again from this mark, while Middlebrow is now back down the weights which make him a serious contender again so he is likely to be in contention at the business end of the race.
