ONE MORE FLEURIE clocked a good time when opening his account at Warwick last week so is fancied to defy a 7 lb penalty for his in-form yard. Top Up The Fashion is still to get his head in front but weighted to have a say, especially if the fitting of blinkers ekes out some improvement, while Fergal O'Brien's chasing newcomer Doyen Dancer is not taken lightly either.
