We'll give another chance to Fiddling Again but there's plenty of opposition with Riodan, Charlottes Web, Fretwork and Senora Snoopy all considered. The selection's latest run at Wincanton clearly tempers confidence as she never really travelled and finished well beaten. She's thought capable of better and was strongly supported throughout the day; her quick reappearance suggests that nothing serious was amiss and she's tentatively selected. Charlottes Webb continued her progression to take third spot in that contest and should be in the mix again but others appeal as likelier winners. Senora Snoopy is one as she continues to run well in defeat and has done nothing wrong despite having found one too good on four occasions. Fretwork made a pleasing debut over hurdles and should improve for both that experience and this longer trip whilst her jockey's claim means that she's getting lumps of weight from her opponents. Riodan also has to enter calculations following her Sedgefield second whilst Solway Bee also rates a mention but we'll give Fiddling Again the chance to redeem herself.
