Verdict
An interesting nursery. Fayez was last seen making late progress in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and may fare better over this trip, but preference is for AARDWOLF. The Mark Johnston trained colt faded in a decent looking novice event last time, but could be hard to pass if he can get a lead. Hi Milady battled hard to win her maiden over course and distance last time and can chase the winner home.
