What they say: 'He's in very good order and it's all systems go'

Nicky Henderson, trainer of Chantry House, Fusil Raffles and Mister Fisher
Chantry House is in very good order and it's all systems go. It's always been the intention for him to go here. He made the perfect comeback at Sandown and he showed he had the pace for two and a half miles last season. Mister Fisher won't run in the Peterborough, he's fine, but he'll go straight to Kempton. Fusil Raffles is in this weekend, he's in next weekend and, you never know, he might go to the King George.

Jeremy Scott, trainer of Dashel Drasher
My owners are split: one's very keen to try him over three miles and another is less keen. I'd think there's a reasonable chance he runs as the horse is well and I'm struggling to find another race for him, unless we wait for the Silviniaco Conti, which, at two and a half miles around Kempton, is probably sharp enough for him. If we try him over three miles we can see if that brings about any further improvement. He does have a good bit of speed and if you stay two-six at Ascot you're not a million miles off three miles at Kempton.

Philip Hobbs, trainer of Defi Du Seuil
He won't run at Sandown on Saturday but what happens after that has not been discussed.
