NOT THAT FUISSE hasn’t raced in a bumper since making a winning debut but has scored over hurdles and fences subsequently. He has the edge on these on ratings over jumps and may have improved for recent wind surgery. Fanzio also has a shout on these terms if fully recovered from a fall at Musselburgh while Esprit De Somoza and Luckofthedraw are others with a chance at the weights. Fairway Freddy has more to find but placed on his only start in a bumper.
