FLUGZEUG returned a comfortable winner on fast ground at Fontwell last week and is taken to shrug off a 7lb rise. Royals And Rebels beat Venetian Lad in a tight finish over track and trip in March but the latter re-opposes on better terms and can come out best this time. The latter pair failed to complete their respective latest starts but Killabraher Cross went close at Fontwell having slipped down the weights and is preferred to Frank N Fair.
