FOGGY'S WALL should be another winner for the Paul Nicholls yard. He won a couple of bumpers at Wincanton last season and has been placed in both starts over hurdles this term. His Taunton conqueror, Horizontal Speed, has scored again since. Supreme Present was second here in one of these last month and should be thereabouts again while Five In A Row was successful at Carlisle in October in his last run in a bumper. A Tail Of Intrigue deserves a change of luck and can't be ignored but Southwell winner Bennachie and Wincanton second Lily Mars need to find more.
