The lack of a recent run didn't bother MOUNTAIN FIGHTER at Fakenham in May. He just won in the end but had to overcome trouble to score and the first two were miles clear of the rest. Granted normal improvement, he should be capable of giving the weight to Argot and Huntingdon fourth Dynamic Ranger, who was only a plater on the Flat. Are They Your Own has rather had his limitations exposed since winning at Uttoxeter in July and has a double penalty to carry and See The Rock has been off for almost a year.
