Formscan - Despite jumping right at times, Esperti struck by just under five lengths in this class at Fakenham and is bound to mount a bold bid. However, a 7lb penalty makes life tougher and that might open the door for AHANAGLOGH. Fergal O'Brien's charge has taken the silver medal home twice since going handicapping/chasing and this step up in trip could bring about enough improvement for him to get his head in front. Mythe Bridge is another to note.
