Verdict

FASTNET BLAST drops back into maiden company having finished runner-up in a handicap at Kempton. He could prove good enough in this as he is weighted to beat both Ms Gillard and Page Of Wands. Avoidable recently returned to action at Chelmsford and should finish closer this time but Diamond Kut looks a bigger threat on a close-up fourth over 1m4f at Lingfield. Great Roar has been placed in bumpers but makes a belated debut in this code on his first start since 2013.
