Ulis De Vassy and stablemate Morgan's Bay are better over fences. Clock On Tom and Deadline Day are out of sorts but My Brother Sylvest has been staging something of a revival while Moss Street has won and been placed on the Flat since his second at Worcester in August. COTILLION has much the best form, despite a shock defeat over 2m4f last time at Hexham. He's rated at least 13lb clear of the others with Fakenham second Osgood a possible for forecast purposes as he likes sharp tracks.
