Fugitive Motel finished just in front of Sugar Prince, who runs in the previous race, when third over C&D last month and should be thereabouts again. However, TRAVELLER'S TALES was only beaten a head by stablemate Operettist at Salisbury in October and, as that's the best piece of form on offer, Richard Hannon's filly is fancied to make a winning return to action. The newcomer One Last Dream is a half-brother to stable companion and Polytrack winner Dreams Of Glory and one to note, but Lyrical Gangster is hard to fancy taking a big drop in trip on his first start for a new yard.
