In depth
Verdict
FUJAIRA KING is the only one of these to have raced over the minimum trip when finishing second at Southwell last month. He gets a change of headgear and may be the one to side with in a tricky contest. Dreaming Away has shown good early pace over 6f and will be sharper for a recent second here but it’s a bit of a surprise to see Badayel over today’s distance given he’s shown ability in a couple of placed efforts over 7f. Nigel Nott drops down from 6f on his first outing since October though his dam was a Listed winner over today’s trip.
