This may not take much winning and Run To Fly looks to be in the handicapper's grip now while Ffos Las second Pancake has never lived up to early promise and stablemate Turbulance has run 15 times over fences under Rules without managing a win. Qualypso D'Allier is struggling for form but Might As Well could go close if improving a little on his third at Wincanton and looks the danger to ONLY THE BEST. Venetia Williams' charge was returning from a year off when well beaten on his reappearance at Leicester but ran a lot better when third at Carlisle next time and is well handicapped on his form over hurdles.
