    In depth

    Verdict

    FIDELIO VALLIS was disappointing on his chasing bow but can only improve and has more scope than Ar Mest, who has only finished out of the frame once in six starts over the larger obstacles but still seeks a first victory. The other pair are likely to be competing for third spot as long as there are no mishaps.
