FANTASTIC FOX ran out a ready scorer at Newcastle last time and can also boast a C&D success so Roger Varian's 5-y-o looks the way to go in his hat-trick attempt. In-form Rhythm N Rock rates the main danger off a handy-looking mark, with Newcastle-victor Tacarib Bay and the returning Desert Order others who need factoring into an open handicap.
