GO FOX is back over his winning trip so gets the nod in a tricky opener even though he is probably a bit more exposed than some of his rivals. Arbennig won at Uttoxeter in June but then blotted his copybook when falling at the fifth on a return visit. Heros De Moutiers will almost certainly improve on his second at Market Rasen and King Of Quinta took a further step forward when runner-up at Southwell so can’t be ignored.
