Fabulous Flyer won a Class 7 event at Lingfield last month with Rojina back in fifth but has been beaten subsequently. Roaring Rory is getting closer as he slips further down the weights and David's Beauty won at Beverley off a similar mark back in August. Storm Trooper could return to form at any time off his current mark but PEARL NOIR has been edging toward a return to winning ways and Scott Dixon’s charge gets the nod having found only one too good over track and trip last week.
