In depth
Verdict
FANZONE will likely start a short price for this having found only one too good in a tougher race at York on his recent debut. That’s easily the best form on offer and Archie Watson’s colt can open his account. Dreamy Rascal and Too Hard To Hold took a step backwards on their latest outings while Born For Fun finished last of nine at Newbury on his introduction. Streamline is fitted with headgear for his debut though is a half-brother to four winners and won’t need to be anything out of the ordinary to figure.
