Though he has done most of his racing over shorter, there seems to be every chance that WIDNES will relish this step up to this trip for the first time, and he could take the beating here. Though he's by Showcasing his dam stayed further than this, and he has been doing his best work late in his recent races over 7f. Having shown form on Polytrack, he could be the one to be with here, while recent Wolverhampton second Solent Meads and the consistent Coverham are feared most.
