WEIGHTWATCHER: FIDUX won off a handicap mark of 140, his rating is now down 11lb to 129.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: LANDOFSMILES trained by P Bowen, Haverfordwest, 235 miles.

Race Summary

Without anything particuarly unexposed in opposition, a chance is taken that FIDUX will be able to notch his first win in over 2 years here. Alan King’s veteran has been in good heart his summer, making the frame in the Summer Cup here on his previous outing, and is perhaps the most solid option in the field. Ruthless Article finished ahead of the selection last time and is highly respected, is prone to throwing in an odd poor run, whilst Hell Red has a decent strike rate in small-field affairs.
