ONE TRUE KING (NAP) hasn't run at a level this low since scoring by 12 lengths at Uttoxeter three years ago and his latest two efforts at Market Rasen and Cheltenham put him in the driving seat. Animal ran poorly when last seen on the former track in the spring but his earlier form puts him in the frame. The lightly-raced Track And Trace, a winner over hurdles at Warwick in September, makes his debut over fences while Spago showed plenty of potential over timber and should have come on markedly for his chasing debut at Kempton. Kap Auteuil was engaged in the 1.00 at Fontwell yesterday.
