Verdict
Slatey Hen has tumbled down the weights this year and showed signs of a revival when third at Kempton last week with the out-of-sorts Super Frank well behind. Microlight is 3lb higher than September's win at Brighton but could still figure, as could Little Perisher who can be forgiven his latest below-par effort over 7f. However, DANGEROUS ILLUSION won twice in August before going close once again at Kempton when last seen and he looks the safest option in this company so gets the vote.
