MCFABULOUS didn't scale the heights some expected as a novice last season given his bumper form, but he did end the campaign with a decisive handicap win and is selected to successfully concede weight all round. Courtandbould is fit and in top form, which may enable him to grab some place prize money, while it's interesting to see Philip Hobbs pitch Everglow in deep on hurdles bow.
