Race preview
CHURCHMAN patently failed to see out 3m at Ludlow and he could bounce straight back over this more appropriate trip. The eight-year-old would be dangerous if allowed an easy lead and cutting him back in distance could be a profitable move. Playful Fox is in the right hands to kick on and he must be taken seriously after a near-miss over 2m here last week. Mancero and Stay Hopeful are the pick of the rest.
