River Dun was just beaten on his first run for David Pipe at Fontwell on Boxing Day and races off the same mark. A first run over 3m brought about some improvement in Fearsome Fred but it may be worth giving another to chance to MOZO, well backed in both starts since joining Anthony Honeyball and successful in a bumper at the track on her racecourse debut back in 2015. Snobbery has only had three starts but has yet to show much in the way of ability.
