Completed a hat-trick in 2025 and returned to a similar level when winning 7-runner C&D handicap on reappearance in January. Only a respectable fourth of 10 in a C&D Class 3 since but considered back at a slightly lower level with Oisin Murphy retaining the ride.

Third win a productive spell on all-weather when seeing off 4 rivals at Lingfield (5f) 35 days ago. His further 3 lb rise is offset by Jack Callan's claim and this thriving sort may take the beating again.

Remains 4 lb above the mark he defied at Windsor for Alice Haynes last spring but worth a second look in the betting on his reappearance for a new yard which gets lots of winners here.

Analyst's Verdict

FIDELIUS arrives at the top of his game and might be able to defy the handicapper again, perhaps at the main expense of Oisin Murphy's mount Spring Is Sprung. Master of My Fate is next on the list.

Betting Forecast : 9/43.25 Fidelius, 7/24.5 Spring Is Sprung, 4/15 Hiya Maite, 9/110 Far Above The Law, 11/112 Master Of My Fate, 14/115 Marty Hopkirk, 14/115 Diomed Spirit
