CAME FROM NOWHERE's form has taken off since switched to handicaps, coming clear with a useful type when landing the Holloway's Handicap Hurdle at Ascot in January, and he can go on to land the hat-trick. The main danger could be Le Frimeur, whose trainer has landed the last 2 renewals of this race, ahead of Doujadou.
