FAST EXIT, odds-on when second on his UK debut for Neil Mulholland at Newton Abbot, is also likely to be a short price here, especially as River D'Or had an alternative engagement at Fontwell yesterday and isn't certain to turn up. Allerton won off a higher mark at Bangor last year but never seems to run two races alike nowadays and is a risky proposition. Flichity's victories are few and far between and he was pulled up when last seen here in June, though he stall has better form than Typical Oscar and Boosha.
