Mr Fickle followed a win over hurdles with a success over 2m at Chelmsford last week. But CHARLIES MATE left his previous form over 1m4f behind to win by four lengths over track and trip a week ago and should go close again despite a penalty. Mexican Mick showed a bit of improvement for a slide down the weights when fourth at Chepstow recently and could figure but Awesome Rock has plenty to find with the selection on latest running.
