An ordinary contest could go the way of FIDDLEDEDEE, who shaped with some promise when fifth on her hurdles bow at Towcester. She holds My Viking Bay on that run and will find this easier than when tackling Rock On Ruby and company at Newbury subsequently. The Hon Tara has hinted at ability but was tailed off at Plumpton last time and more interesting is Playful Rose, whose fifth to Naughty Naughty at Towcester in October has turned out to be decent form. The Luso mare looks the pick of Henry Daly's three runners.
