Race preview
A wind procedure worked the oracle for last month's Doncaster scorer JAX JUNIOR. Lucy Wadham's gelding impressed with how quickly he put his rivals to bed and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from following up. As The Fella Says made a respectable hurdles bow when runner-up at Warwick 24 days ago and the son of Soldier Of Fortune can put up the most resistance to the selection, ahead of the hat-trick seeking The Bluesman.
