River Of Fire without a win since landing a couple of sellers two years ago, has his first run back in that grade since then. If straight after a lay off, he must go well. The choice is Cezzaro, who may have needed his outing at Leicester last week and better is expected in this. He has nothing to fear from Strath Fillan, who was just over four lengths behind him and is now 10lbs worse off.
