ONTHEFRONTFOOT (NAP) has landed two of five starts over fences and been placed in the other three. Both wins arrived over 2m on good ground and the McCain yard has been in fine shape under both codes in the past week or so. He sets a good standard and is taken to land a third chasing success. Fisher Green has won around here over timber and jumped really well when second to Ming Dynasty at Hexham on chasing debut last month. He receives 16lb from the topweight and should certainly give the selection a degree of trouble at least. Cenotice is best watched after an absence of 666 days - unless the market suggests otherwise.
