Harry Fry has won the last two renewals and GET IN THE QUEUE has looked a very smart prospect in wide-margin victories at Uttoxeter and Exeter. He can ensure that Noel Fehily signs off with a winner. Prince Llywelyn was second at Ascot in November and went one better at Wetherby so should continue heading in the right direction but Nimby probably didn’t beat much at Lingfield in December. Hotter Than Hell was second in this last year and filled the same position at Doncaster in January but may have to settle for a place again. Legends Ryde has a cracking pedigree for jumping and is worth noting after a promising third at Wetherby when he saw too much daylight.
