Fast Shot had Misplaced Fortune and Beckermet behind when landing a division of a sprint at Ripon last time and Thunderball won the other division in good style. Both could figure once again in this while Loki's Revenge scored at Yarmouth in October and may get involved on his return. Layla's Hero and Farlow are others to consider but the vote goes to TAJNEED. He ran his best race for some time when third in a higher grade sprint at Pontefract recently and a high stall shouldn't be a problem for Dandy Nicholls' charge on this straight 6f especially as the speedy L'Ami Louis is drawn on the same side.
