ROUGE DE L'QUEST (5) posted a good runner-up effort in a decent handicap chase at Chepstow on his seasonal return during October. Talented conditional Callum Pritchard takes off a valuable 8lb and with the third-place horse going on to score next time out looks ready to double his fences tally. Stamina is unlikely to pose a problem for ART DECCO (2) who must be respected delivering first start since completing a fences hat-trick in testing conditions at Ffos Las 250 days ago. WHYDAH GALLY (9) ran well tackling a similar trip to finish third at Plumpton in November. Might feature racing for a stable amongst the winners. MUSICAL SLAVE (8) is another to note.
