Rookery was tailed off at Yarmouth last time having been placed at Wolverhampton earlier and Joe Fanning prefers the chances of Power Up - the latter scored on the Polytrack in December. Doubts about Full Day's ability to stay this longer trip remain after she failed to pick up in the closing stages over 1m2f here last time. FAIR FLUTTER scored over a mile at this track last season before signing off with a win over 1m2f at Nottingham. He's 4lb higher for his return to action but there should be more to come from the Fahey gelding this year and he gets the nod.
