Alminar has gone backwards since making a winning reappearance at Ffos Las and Premier D'troice has struggled for his best form this winter. Silver In Disguise seems to have lost the plot completely while Arrivederci has a lot to prove over fences. In Rem came good at Exeter, however, and Raddon Top could give the form a boost in the previous race. Fairlawn Flyer has won four times at Ffos Las and this track is similar in nature but LYRICAL GENIUS took a big step forward at Doncaster last month and can go one better here.
