Fiendish Flame, Dovils Date and Sporting Boy all like to force the pace so there'll be no hanging about here. A fast pace would probably suit Foxcub, who stays well, while Phantom Prince won over 2m2f at Fontwell last month. Shammick Boy isn't out of this and Dunraven Storm is eased in grade but SOLAR IMPULSE had no luck when seventh in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham and can get back to winning ways as Dragon's Den has been struggling to get his head in front this season.
