        Verdict

        Fantasy Justifier posted a better effort when fourth at Kempton last time but finished practically upsides with Who Told Jo Jo. The latter has tumbled down the weights and makes most appeal of that pair while Frank The Barber produced one of his occasional placed efforts when runner-up over track and trip recently. Dream Ally won off a similar mark at Wolverhampton last summer but FAREEQ may finally be ready to end a long long losing run off his current mark with Jason Watson’s claim taking a further 7lb off his back and he gets the nod.
