Verdict
LITTLE FRITZ has come up against some decent novices in his four runs to date. He didn't appear to like the soft ground when runner-up to Pericoloso at Ludlow last month but was conceding 5lb to the winner and was clear of the third. This looks his opportunity to get off the mark. Barton Stacey was behind Romeo Americo at Fontwell and has been a bit disappointing so far. He is now tried in blinkers while Wychwoods Mist didn't run up the form of an earlier second over 2m here when beaten 10 lengths last time at Exeter. Ballypatrick and Nataani may be the pick of the remainder.
