Despite a slipping saddle, FRANKIE FAULKNER and Isabel Williams went down by the narrowest of margins to Janeslittlevoice at Newton Abbot last month and staying is his game. Regarde was well on top at the finish over 3m at Huntingdon last week and looks a big danger, despite his penalty, with recent Worcester winner Meechlands Magic probably less likely to double up carrying an extra 7lb. Deadly Missile is 0-9 but has gone close a couple of times over fences this summer and appears to hold Can't Beat History on Market Rasen running.
