Formscan - Fidux stayed on nicely to score over slightly shorter at Newbury last month, but that ended a long losing run and he's not an obvious candidate to follow up off a 5lb higher mark. HIGHSTAKESPLAYER completed a hat-trick over this C&D off 3lb lower in February and his outing when pulling up in the Greatwood 22 days later may have come too soon, so he is given a chance to bounce back now eased in class. Larry has slipped back to the mark he won off at Plumpton in January and must be considered for the yard that won this race in 2022.
