FULHAM ROAD fell when there with a chance in a point-to-point in February of last year and, now with the champion trainer, should start making up for lost time in what looks a poor bumper. Ontopoftheworld looked progressive in his two runs early last year and was only narrowly beaten at Wexford so he should go well if ready after such a long break. The remainder with experience have shown nothing so perhaps Peter Fahey's newcomer Pixie's Lot, a daughter of Golan and a half-sister to a Flat winner in Australia, can prove best of the rest.
