Formerly a useful handicapper on the Flat for Andrew Balding, FAIRBANKS pulled clear of the rest when going down narrowly to a Gordon Elliott-trained newcomer on debut in this sphere at Down Royal and he is confidently expected to go one better this time. Come On The Lads and Firebrand can fill the places.
