This probably won't take much winning and Wily Fox is certainly a contender eased in grade, despite top weight. The Game Is A Foot was doing his best work at the finish over 2m2f at Fontwell last time and Sweet Boy Vic was only beaten a nose at Wincanton last month, though is 6lb higher here. SQUIRE TRELAWNEY turned in three solid performances in November and December. This is a lot less competitive and Dan Skelton's charge can shrug off a short absence to get off the mark with the handicapper refusing to release his grip on Georgian King.
