This looks quite competitive for a Class 5 but Fazayte won over hurdles at Stratford in October and was successful over fences here last time though, in between, was only third behind KISS MY FACE at Hereford and the pair meet on the same terms with the latter following up that victory with a close second at Musselburgh. Callisto's King was second to an improver at Taunton and Almost Gotaway, Secret Trix and Accidental Legend are all recent winners. Astroman has placed a couple of times this year but is now 0-11 over timber and 0-17 on Turf.
