Formscan - Since winning a Market Rasen maiden hurdle, FIDENDUM has done well in handicap company, with a success back at the Lincolnshire circuit sandwiched by solid efforts at Worcester and Perth. The form of his second in Scotland has been boosted and he is fancied to go one better. Similarly, Media Mogul's Worcester second looks even better with the winner going on to win the Persian War at Chepstow. He heads a list of dangers that also includes Handmedownastar and Secret Sniper.
