Notre Pari was a disappointing favourite at Fakenham while Timetochill refused to settle when third at Huntingdon. Malystic won bumpers at Newcastle last season and is worth a market check but PERFECT CITY still appeared to be travelling well when falling at Southwell on his hurdles bow. The form of that race has worked out well and he can make amends here if confidence hasn’t been affected. Coniston Spa is likely to improve on his third at Sedgefield and he holds Breathable on that run.
