High Fibre ended last season with a victory over 1m1f at Newmarket while both of Choirmaster’s victories came over shorter trips. But WILD CRUSADE scored in novice company over course and distance and given the runner-up subsequently landed a double, Charlie Appleby’s colt gets the vote on his handicap debut. Cliffs Of Fury placed over 1m3f here last time while Aegis Power and Already Gone step up in trip.
