Lauberhorn Rocket won over 1m4f at Kempton in August though hasn’t figured since but MR FOX has placed since scoring here last year and this looks slightly easier than his recent tasks. Hidden Pearl went close over track and trip in a maiden earlier and is less exposed than Sinndarella, who hasn’t won in 16 attempts though finished third at Kempton last time, while Snow Leopard is fitted with headgear and is preferred to Chinese Alphabet.
