Fat Gladiator is upped a grade after scoring at Kempton though fourth-placed Naughty Nadine has subsequently gone close at Catterick and re-opposes on more favourable terms. But ROXZOFF (NAP), a dual winner on the all-weather, just missed out back on the Turf at Beverley last week and Charlie Hills’ charge gets another chance racing off the same mark. Silver Kitten never threatened on last year’s outing here while Bascinet makes his handicap debut with cheekpieces applied.
