Fly Home Harry races off the same mark as when beating Global Domination just under three lengths in this 12 months ago but he’s not been getting home in recent races. Wood Pigeon should strip fitter for his run at Fakenham, where he jumped well and was only headed approaching the last. The lightly-raced Debacle could be interesting from the foot of the handicap, despite falling on his chasing bow, and Johnny Yuma could be thereabouts if fully wound-up but MINMORE PRESENT (NAP) gets the nod. He’s been quite highly tried so far under Rules and ran well for a long way at Fakenham when in need of the outing.
