Roxyfet won over fences here for the third time when successful just 10 days ago. But he reverts to hurdling for the first time since 2013 and has yet to win over the smaller obstacles. Fiddler's Flight was winning for the second time over track and trip when beating close-up third COPT HILL (NAP) here last month. But the latter re-opposes on much better terms today and Tracy Waggott's charge gets the vote to take his revenge. Van Mildert won at Cartmel back in May last year but returns to action off a 6lb higher mark.
