THE MEAN FIDDLER (4) launched his career with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1m at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten 3 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. OUR CHIEF (3) raced here on his home turf just seven days ago and did a good job to finish 1. 75 lengths away in second over 1m. Jumps from a good gate and is likely to be in the finish. WRIGLEY FIELD (1) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Sandown-Lakeside over 1m. Likely to play a major role. GOLD CHARIOT (9) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 1m at Seymour, beaten 1. 75 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to make a big impact.
