Race preview
Fontwell has long been a happy hunting ground for Gary Moore and he could have another talented juvenile on his hands in the shape of KOTMASK, who beat a subsequent winner at Huntingdon last month. A mark of 119 could prove lenient on handicap debut having won so impressively here on his penultimate start and he can master the likes of Small Bad Bob, who ran well at Fakenham on New Year's Day, and the consistent Franco D'Aunou. The hat-trick-seeking Mongol Emperor has a tough task looking to overcome a 328-day absence.
