The in-form Blue Hills has obvious claims on a repeat of his most recent Fontwell run but the 11-year-old is forced to shoulder a 7lb penalty and that may just bring an excellent run to a halt. DR ANUBIS, however, can take plenty of encouragement from his effort in novice company behind Court In Session and he looks weighted to go close off this mark on his return to the handicap ranks. Ours and the C&D winner My Condor are others of note.
