Conflicting Advice failed to land the odds at Wolverhampton back in November and Marmot was expected to do better at the same track on his latest start. Fight Knight was still well beaten when third at Southwell last time but FIRE AND PASSION ran well when runner-up on his racecourse debut at Kempton a fortnight ago and can go one better with normal progress. Dark Light is a half-brother to a winner on the all-weather and is a newcomer to note.
