Foinix has been in the mix over shorter trips while James Bradley won over a mile here before placing at Wolverhampton ahead of FADI. But the latter has subsequently gone close over a longer distance at Kempton with Dafyre not far behind and an apprentice takes 7lb off his back for this. The latter can figure once again while Opportunity Knocks is another upped in trip.
