Verdict
Neither Tango De Juilley nor Full Trottle are getting any younger. Not That Fuisse justified favouritism at Fakenham after an unlucky run at Ludlow and has a much higher rating than Stratford winner Drakes Well but is only receiving 7lb, including his jockey’s allowance, from STRATAGEM with David Maxwell’s mount, who is only six, one to follow in hunter chases on the evidence of a wide-margin win at Ludlow.
