FANCI THAT will need to step up on her handicap debut effort at Kempton when finishing third. But she has the scope to do so and is taken to reverse running with second-placed Willow Spring.

Tasaaboq is usually thereabouts but has just the one success in 36 attempts while Fossa last won way back in 2013.
