FENTARA had produced a couple of good efforts over fences at Newcastle before falling at the last at Catterick when in with every chance. She gets the vote to make amends though Micro Mission will provide stern opposition. He wasn't beaten far on his chasing debut on this track before jumping poorly at Wetherby but reverted to hurdles and scored there last month. Rakavilee has won her last two starts between the flags but has a long absence to overcome and the remaining pair have shown little.
