FUGITIVES DRIFT looks well worth a go back up in trip given how he shaped behind a progressive one at Kempton in March, and he earns the narrow vote over Firak, who showed plenty of ability in reaching the frame all 4 outings over hurdles last season. The promising Finisk River is also well respected, despite having to concede weight all round.
