FLETCHER'S FLIGHT 10/1
FLETCHER'S FLIGHT at 10/1, Charlie Wallis and Christian Howarth, is the one I keep coming back to. He went close off this sort of rating, beaten 0.5L off 57 on 3 October, should be suited by the ground, placed once from 8 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are ALEPPO PEPPER at 9/1 (went close off this mark) and TWILIGHT MADNESS at 10/1 (a course winner).
