Forecasts

Above (5/2), Aberama Gold (3/1), Brian The Snail (7/2), Streamline (4/1), Fizzy Feet (5/1)

ABOVE is an improved model this winter and finished in front of a trio he faces here when a close-up third over this trip at Kempton 16 days ago. This could well get tactical but he's fancied to come out on top equipped with cheekpieces. Streamline proved he retains ability in the same event and is feared most.
