Verdict

FIT FOR FIFTY is winless so far but the signs already suggest he'll have better days ahead now tackling fences and having finished second at Cartmel on his third attempt, he's got sound prospect here. Auenwirbel scored over C&D in June and was second under a penalty since, ensuring he's got to be on any shortlist while Midnight Gem and Scrumpy Boy can also be considered.
  1. Fit For Fifty
  2. Auenwirbel
  3. Midnight Gem
