Formscan  - THE FOXES had somewhat of an interrupted campaign last season, but he finished an excellent fourth in the Hong Kong Cup at Sha Tin before chasing home Rebel's Romance in a Group 3 in Qatar. Andrew Balding's entire can resume his progress back on home soil this year. Space Legend wasn't disgraced in the Great Voltigeur when last seen and given that he's gone well when fresh previously, must be considered. Liberty Lane might not be far away either.
