Excuses are starting to wear thin for the Willie Mullins-trained CARO DES FLOS but there is no doubt the Highclere Racing Syndicate-owned six-year-old looks a cut above the opposition here. Count Simon and Benefit North both look set to show some kind of improvement while Kilbrew Gold could hit the frame at a double-figure price.
