FOGGY'S WALL has already been beaten in handicaps and looks a tricky ride but there will be some long faces around Ditcheat if he can't win a race like this before tackling fences. Twice Returned looks the most likely to cash in should the Nicholls novice flop again, though he's also disappointed since a third behind Killala Quay at Chepstow in the autumn. Kiama Bay will be one to note when appearing in a handicap.
