Fanfair has form at the track and has made steady progress since upped to this sort of trip. She’s still creeping up the weights but will be hard to keep out of the frame. Castle Talbot has only won once in 24 attempts but is another who is usually thereabouts. Oceanus won a seller here last month but is now 4lb higher and Broughtons Story didn’t have much to beat at Beverley. Conditions have to be a concern for Bayston Hill while Bradfield Magic still has to prove his stamina. BAN SHOOF probably just has the beating of Bayston Hill on Lingfield running and, though he wouldn’t want any more rain, gets a tentative vote.
