Verdict
FASTNET TEMPEST can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him by claiming this valuable handicap on his debut on this surface. The selection was successful in a valuable contest in May and with trainer William Haggas boasting a 21% strike-rate (11/52) in recent times he can register his fifth career win here. Constantino has made the frame on all five appearances on the AW and while this looks a stronger contest than those he's been contesting of late he is taken to claim second while Mazzini , who tackles this trip for the first time today can take third.
