Verdict
Richard Fahey has won two of the last four renewals and YOUNG JOHN has every chance in this. A runner-up at Chelsmford on his debut, Paul Hanagan takes over the reins today and should get a good tow round from a couple of speedy types in Raj To Riches and Rogues' Gallery. That pair have both attempted to make all in the past though the latter will need to be quickly away from a wide draw. Tom Dascombe has enjoyed recent successes in this and jockey bookings suggest the newcomer Falcon Annie is preferred to stablemate Four's Company while High Speed failed to live up to her name with a slow start at Windsor but looks a likely improver.
