Arkle Trophy second Fair Along is to revert to fences at Aintree next month

"I'd imagine he'd go to Aintree for the two-mile Maghull Novice Chase -

although that might be too sharp for him - or the Melling Chase over two and a

half," trainer Philip Hobbs told At The Races.

"The Chester Cup is the plan for him. Going two and a quarter miles on a

tight left-handed track, he will buzz round those bends."
