ONLY BY NIGHT has flourished over fences and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having been edged out late on in the Arkle last time. L'Eau du Sud came in fourth but only under a length behind Gavin Cromwell's likeable mare that day and again rates a big threat, while Paul Nicholls' Kalif du Berlais bypassed that race and shouldn't be underestimated now back at his optimum trip after a break.
