WISE GUY progressed well last term and it's reasonable to think he could have more to offer this season given his age and low-mileage profile, so he's fancied to make a successful return. Diplomatie had a productive spell in Jersey during the summer and warrants respect having joined a yard that does very well with its new recruits, while Dog Fox was undone by a bad mistake here on his most recent outing and could still be ahead of his mark.
