NOBLE PEACE has run slightly disappointingly on his past few outings, but has had excuses on those occasions regarding trip and fitness, and now looks to have things his way again possible for the first time since winning off this mark at Leicester in September. He can capitalise on that over a distance where it pays to already hold good form. With that in mind, C&D winner Good Luck Charm is also of interest, with an appealing draw added to his fine record over 7f, while Fox Trotter looks one of the better handicapped options in the field.
