In depth

Verdict

Franklin Roosevelt was an expensive purchase and has a strong pedigree so could be interesting on his debut but the experience of LITTLE FRITZ should count. Nicky Henderson's charge started odds-on for his debut at Ludlow but ran green and looked as though the run would do him good. He will certainly improve and should prove too strong for Dazzling Rita, second in a three-runner race at Stratford on Saturday, and Real Milan, who looked as though further was needed on his debut over this trip at Huntingdon.
