Fox Run beat Garryleigh by seven lengths over course and distance five weeks ago but David Pipe's charge is 6lb better off here and there should be little to choose the pair now, though Harry Derham does claim 5lb off the top weight. But both may struggle to get the better of the fast-improving KARINGA DANCER, a very easy winner at Wincanton having beaten a decent field in a jumpers' bumper at Kempton in January. Hollow Penny never figured in handicap company at Kempton last time but should find this less competitive, though he still looks to be facing a stiff task at the weights. The remainder are even harder to fancy.
