Not a race to get too involved in, as most of these inmates are inconsistent and struggled even in selling company. Quiet Water has had a huge hike in the weights for winning at Huntingdon last time out in May and may need this first run back. What You Know won two sellers in September and October, but was well-beaten when stepped up to Class F company in two subsequent starts and carrying more than 11st. Therefore a relative newcomer to hurdles, Fabrezan, earns our selection. This three-year-old has progressed well over hurdles in three starts so far this season, most recently finishing third to Indoux in a similar event at Exeter. he carries just 10st 9lb with a good jockey on board - this is a prime opportunity to strike. Clifton Mist won over course and distance in a seller in October; he has run well at Taunton previously, and although lacking consistency, he deserves an each-way nod.
