Lots with chances but FUGITIF has returned an improved model this term and a 10 lb rise for his most impressive Chepstow success could still underestimate him. Il Ridoto has shaped well to twice claim fourth spot over C&D this winter and seems sure to be on the premises again, especially if the fitting of cheekpieces ekes out some improvement. Brave Seasca and Nocte Volatus complete the shortlist.
