HOOFALONG showed promise as a two-year-old and comfortably landed a gamble on his reappearance at Doncaster, albeit over a longer trip. Mick Easterby doesn't send many this far south and the hint should be taken. Riskit Fora Biskit has done really well, winning three of her four starts. Her latest success at Sandown is working out well and she should go close, despite her rise up the weights. Exotic Isle must also go on the short-list have improved to land a course and distance handicap two weeks ago while New Fforest kept on for pressure at Chester last time and should be cherry-ripe now. Saga Lout is unexposed and is preferred to Smart Spender of the remainder.
