Hitman Fred may be best watched returning from a lengthy absence and Hold The Note is now 0-15 over fences. Just Don't Know was in good form earlier in the year but IF NOT FOR DYLAN’s race-fitness can be guaranteed and he’s back in the right grade today. Domandlouis was third on his debut over the larger obstacles over course and distance in October and makes more appeal than Deep Charm of the others.
