TEDLEY was only beaten a neck at Ffos Las on his third try over hurdles and should be going one better in this unless the winning bumper Bobby's Fortune improves dramatically on his run at Kempton. Dominic's Fault has a very long absence to overcome and may not be helped by a very testing surface. Professor Klump looks best of the rest.
