HUMBEL BEN wound back the clock to win at Fontwell and this isn't much better. The veteran could easily double his seasonal tally with The Kvilleken proving better over hurdles lately. Maizy Missile doesn't look particularly well treated at present and neither does Muwalla while Lord Of Drums looks a shadow of his former self. The others are even harder to fancy.
