Verdict

FIDELIUS took his form up a level when scoring at Wolverhampton last time and a 7 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from bagging a third success of 2024. Thirsk-wiinner Ingleby Archie is next on the list ahead of in-form duo Midnight Lir and Classy Clarets.

  1. FIDELIUS
  2. INGLEBY ARCHIE (IRE)
  3. MIDNIGHT LIR (IRE)
