FEN TIGER has been at the top of his game lately and might prove the answer to this tricky opener. Army of One wasn't seen to best effect at Ffos Las last time and had been performing well prior to that so she's feared most. Eminent Angel is a possible improver now handicapping and a market move for her would look interesting taking on largely much more exposed opposition.
