Skycutter has been in winning form over hurdles since an excellent fourth in last year's November Handicap at Doncaster. Glasses Up's last success came over 1m6f at Musselburgh so this looks on the short side but FAIRMAC's two victories last year came over the trip and, though they were on fast ground, he handles this going. He gets the vote as Wots The Wifi Code has gone up 7lb for landing a Class 5 handicap at Doncaster and Fast Medicine's only success to date came in a 7f Chelmsford maiden.
