Formscan - FAITQUE DE L'ISLE's most recent showing at Newcastle seemed too bad to be true and he is better judged on his determined victory at Ffos Las in October. If he returns to that sort of form, the seven-year-old can see off Clear On Top, who is still a maiden through 12 starts but has run some fine races in the process. On The Bandwagon is another to consider as he returns to chasing.
