MASTER TODD was just touched off by Moorlands Mist in a better race than this at Chepstow earlier in the month. The drop in distance is unlikely to be a problem on this stiff track and he should finally get of the mark. Ffos Las fourth Mister Bricolage is the obvious danger as Knockraheen ran no sort of race at Southwell last time and Count Guido Deiro needs to improve on his second at the same course to get involved. Fiddleesticks was third at Catterick on his hurdles debut and could make the frame if handling this stiffer test of stamina.
