RISK A FINE did well to win at Stratford, given the attentions of another horse early on, but he soon shrugged him aside and went on to win well. He might have to do the same again here, with Village Vic in attendance, but he looks the progressive one and should score. If they do go very quick, it will help the chances of Bishops Road, who could arguably do with another mile, but will be coming home with a rattle. Petrou holds a clear chance of getting a place, but at a bigger price, don't rule out a better effort from Hidden Charmer either.
