1:05 Fakenham Going Good / Distance - 2m 0f

Pool Value: £711.78

Kalif d'Airy is a player on form despite a query over him dropping back in trip, while the return to shorter ought to suit Runaway Train. Mavis Pike is considered having won over C&D, as is Character Testing now taking on his elders on handicap debut. However, a chance is taken with REALISTIC OPTIMISM who has shown ability in three goes over hurdles and ought to find this easier now making his handicap debut at a modest level.[David Bellingham]

1	Realistic Optimism William Featherstone / Jamie Snowden	8yrs / 12st 0lb 52/534 Spotlight	107	11/2	5.70	2.20
Realistic Optimism Irish bumper winner who has hinted at ability in three novice hurdles for this yard since returning from a mammoth absence in October (the winners of the last two have gone in again since); may have a better chance now making his handicap debut at a modest level.
2	Mavis Pike James Turner / N A Twiston-Davies	6yrs / 12st 0lb 3-5136 Spotlight	101	12/1	18.60	6.10
Mavis Pike Made a successful handicap debut over C&D (good) in October, but has regressed in two starts since; needs to bounce back but the return here may help as would drying ground.
3	Kalif D'airy Caoilin Quinn / G & J Moore	5yrs / 11st 13lb 33-772 Spotlight	108	4/6	1.50	1.10
Kalif D'airy Ran his best race so far when chasing home a subsequent winner at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day; return to this trip around a sharp track on drying ground poses a question, but still a player on form.
4	Runaway Train Ben Bromley / James Owen	5yrs / 11st 5lb 65F624 Spotlight	101	5/1	7.80	2.90
Runaway Train Second of 13 on handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good) in November, but the combination of the longer trip and soft ground appeared to find him out at Fontwell (2m3f) last month (Kalif d'Airy second); can do better here.
5	Order Of Progress Cameron Iles / L Allan	5yrs / 11st 1lb P-3397 Spotlight	90	33/1	30.00	9.00
Order Of Progress Big prices and well beaten in a bumper and three starts over hurdles; this looks easier on handicap debut, but she does still need to find plenty of improvement.
6	Character Testing Tristan Durrell / T Ellis	4yrs / 10st 12lb 332F2 Spotlight	107	15/2	5.50	2.10
Character Testing AW Flat winner who has been placed in all four completed starts over hurdles, the latest when beaten a head in a Warwick maiden (2m, good to soft; first-time hood) last month; respected taking on his elders on handicap debut.
7	Eklil Phillip Armson / A Irvine	6yrs / 10st 10lb P-388 Spotlight	89	66/1	97.40	24.80
Eklil Three-time winner on the Flat, but has been out of form for some time including at massive prices in his last three starts since returned to hurdling; makes little appeal on handicap debut.
