Fadansil was an impressive winner last time out and can follow up this afternoon at the expense of Falcon's Fire and Elopement. John Wade's four-year-old won at the fifteenth attempt when comfortably getting the better of Speagle in a competitive race at Hamilton. He stayed on really strongly and the extra furlong should be ideal. Falcon's fire has been knocking in the door recently and this winning hurdler has to enter calculations. Elopement has also been in good form of late and looks the pick of the Mark Brisbourne trio. Mounafes is starting to get the hang of this game and may do best of the others, but we return to Fadansil as the more likely winner.
