Towcester winner Ace Fighter Pilot wasn't disgraced under a penalty at Hereford last month and should make his presence felt again. Danandy, Millers Reef and Waterunder all boast decent form between the flags and the market will be the best guide to their chances but Easter Fayre is probably best watched after a break as she disappointed when last seen at Worcester in June. PRESENTING ARMS was a little green on debut at Plumpton in November but ran on again in the closing stages having got outpaced at halfway. He's bred for the job, being closely related to the useful Flat and hurdles winner L'Opera, and can get off the mark today.
