Fantomas was left in the lead at Uttoxeter when finally opening his account and has been left on the same mark. But DINDIN returned to form with a convincing success in a conditionals’ race at Warwick and David Pipe’s charge looks the one to side with as he escapes a penalty. Ten Past Midnight makes his chasing debut while Kingston King returns from a lay-off but Goldrapper disappointed at Sedgefield last time.
