From solid jumping stock, MASTER FIDDLE can make a winning start over hurdles. The five-year-old won a Market Rasen bumper in impressive fashion in March and should go on to better things than this. Well Hello There looked to be in need of a step up in trip when second at Southwell last month, but Pilgreen shaped with promise at Stratford in October and Bishophill Jack was doing his best work at the finish when third at Warwick last month. Seren Cwmtudu lacks an extra gear but may be the pick of the remainder as Nemo Spirit appeared to have lost his way on the Flat over the summer.
