FAIRY MIST finally got off the mark in an apprentice race at Beverley last week and therefore escapes a penalty. He gets the vote on that basis, while Gee Major has 6lb extra to carry on the back of his recent win at Kempton where he had Excellent Vision behind. Rigid went close at the same track last time, but is still without a win in 22 starts and Poppy Golightly has got progressively worse since scoring on the Polytrack back in January.
