Race preview
FRINGILL DIKE is two from two here having won his bumper and more recently he was a cosy winner in a novices hurdle last month. Although he has to concede 7lb to most of his rivals, the manner of his victory suggested he may follow up here. Clear White Light is the only other previous winner in the line-up having bolted up over C&D earlier in the month and looks an obvious threat. Retrospect makes his first start for Dr Richard Newland and the booking of Brian Hughes looks a positive.
