If FIDDLERS BOW can pick up where he left off last January then he looks the horse to be on in the opening contest. Following wind surgery, he won two races at Ayr in good style. He has run well fresh though such a long absence is a slight concern. Another returning from a long absence is Some Reign who shows promise when in the mood but his chances are tempered by the fact he has twice refused to race. King Golan has fitness on his side but has been below par of late. However he slowly becoming well handicapped on what he has achieved in the past.
