ROXYFET has held his form well since scoring at Sedgefield in December and has gone close in both subsequent starts. He looks a safer bet than Master Of Finance, who wasn’t disgraced at Ludlow on his chasing debut. Las Tunas looks no nearer winning despite slipping further down the weights while it was fast ground when Miss Conway notched-up a hat-trick last summer and she remains 8lb higher than her latest success.
