IBLEO was left clear by the fall of Templier at Wincanton but had his rival’s measure at the time anyway. The top weight is entitled to improve further with that run under his belt and can thwart the hat-trick bid of Leicester and Plumpton winner Wenceslaus, who has been raised a further 10lb. Little Light was only third off this mark at Fakenham but Fanzio ran well for second at Carlisle and is a danger. All Is Good was entered yesterday at Ludlow and may find this company too hot.
