Verdict

SECOND FIDDLE has been freshened up after 5 wins in under 4 weeks on joining Iain Jardine and could easily still be a step ahead of the handicapper despite a 10 lb higher mark this time. Valkyrja has done well since cheekpieces have been applied and may provide the main threat ahead of Angel of Rain.
