Verdict
FANTASY JUSTIFIER has a line of form that should see him go close. Ron Harris’ charge beat Posh Bounty in soft going at Chepstow last month and the latter scored over track and trip a day later beating Ginzan. Midnight Rider was a long way behind Ginzan here earlier this month but Showmethewayavrilo ran well for third over course and distance at the same meeting. Willsy scored here back in April but Ambitious Boy has plenty to find with the selection on Chepstow running.
