FIDELITY is the only one of these that have looked like winning recently having finished third in testing ground at Lingfield last time. Jonathan Geake’s charge is preferred to I'llhavealook, a well beaten runner-up here on his latest start. Kingston Mimosa won a novices’ handicap at Fontwell last year but hasn’t raced since Boxing Day while African Tiger makes his handicap debut, though has been beaten out of sight in all three previous starts.
