BELAMI DES PICTONS disappointed at Ascot before Christmas but he showed plenty of ability remains after a long absence when fourth at Bangor and is worth another chance to build on that off what remains a potentially handy mark. This does look very competitive though, with the dangers headed by the very lightly-raced Encounter A Giant, who looked potentially smart when last seen over 2 years ago.
