FAIRYE FORTH (1) is the main danger, coming off a 2nd at Ffos Las over this trip, beaten 1.25L, and also placed at Chepstow prior. IDAHO FIRE (3) and MARINIERE (5) have yet to feature in the placings, while YELLOW CARD (6) has struggled in recent runs, finishing well back here last start.

Finished 7th of 11 at Newton Abbot over 3371m on 29 Oct, beaten 9.25L with 71.5kg at $6. Unplaced in both subsequent runs at Ludlow and Plumpton, both at longer trips. Drops 1.5kg from last start and comes back in distance. Needs to lift on recent form but can improve for the stable.
