Verdict
Faadhel has been raised 3lb for winning over a mile at Kempton and should stay the extra distance. But there are no doubts about AMAZING MICHELE lasting home as she won over track and trip on her penultimate start. She was always struggling for position at Haydock last time having been hampered leaving the stalls and gets another chance here with an apprentice’s allowance also in her favour. King Tut is another with something to prove over 1m2f but has lots of scope handicapping for the first time while Danzay is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best.
