Verdict
Fistful Of Dollars went close on Polytrack before landing a maiden over 7f at Southwell last time and is preferred to Availed Speaker, who also produced a better effort on the Fibresand last month. Speedi Mouse won a seller at Yarmouth and went close again at Newmarket in August, while Majestic Zafeen steps up in trip after a second over 7f at Lingfield. NEXT CRY could only manage fourth in a more competitive handicap here last time but won over C&D in November and Richard Hannon's colt gets the nod in a tight contest.
