AUENWIRBEL won here last month and was then second off a 7lb higher mark 10 days later when Scrumpy Boy was behind – a further 2lb rise shouldn’t prevent another big run. Fit For Fifty’s second at Cartmel was his best run to date over fences and Midnight Gem had Irish Thistle behind when third here earlier in the month. Southport ran a bit better than the final result suggests last time at Uttoxeter but he’s become disappointing overall.
