PLAY SMARTER ELDORADO ALLEN is the only one who has shown his form this term so he’s perhaps the most solid option, although Mister Fisher would be a major threat if recapturing the sort of form he showed when landing last season’s Peterborough. It would also come as no surprise to see Rouge Vif leave his reappearance run behind on just his second outing for the Paul Nicholls stable.
