THE MEAN FIDDLER (3) has gone close on both starts missing by a nose at Pontefract before finishing 0. 75L second tackling 6f at Ripon. Further progress likely and sets the standard. CALEF (5) was only 3. 5L away at Catterick and 2L at Hamilton before another respectable Pontefract fourth. The Chepstow run can be ignored after she unseated at the start. Main danger. PAPHOS (1) is a Kodi Bear colt out of a 6f-winning Dark Angel mare whose dam Wizz Kid won the G1 Prix de l'Abbaye. Makes some appeal on debut. BY JOVE GRACE (4) finished 1. 5L second debuting at Carlisle before a 6. 5L fifth at Ripon. Remains open to improvement and cannot be discounted.
