      Verdict

      Fidux never seems to run a bad race but has 10 lengths to find with last year’s winner RUTHLESS ARTICLE (NAP) on their run together over course and distance four weeks ago and is only 5lb better off - Rebecca Curtis’ top weight can win at the track again. Landofsmiles won over 3m here in May but has shown nothing since but Court Master would have a chance on his best form, though has been pulled up in his last two starts over fences. Hell Red is 5-7 in chases but stamina could be an issue in this ground.
