A winner over further here in December, there's no doubting FAT FACED COLUMBO was rather fortunate to follow-up when his main rival departed 2 out at Chepstow 4 weeks ago. Yet, that shouldn't detract from his own positive profile and he remains very much of interest at this level and merits serious consideration in his hat-trick bid. Ludlow scorer Move With The Beat and Wheresmemoneygone are also progressive and head the dangers in an intriguing contest.
