Fair Loch unseated his rider at Kempton when still in front in a race in which FAYETTE COUNTY fell at the third-last when disputing third place. We'll take Tim Vaughan's bumper and hurdles winner to have gained the most experience from that and come out on top today with a clear round. Flementime was never in contention when third here on her chasing debut and it's not certain that the drop back in distance will suit Martin Keighley's mare.
