      Verdict

      FIDAAWY got going too late behind Zest at Nottingham last month. If a bit more alert in the stalls today, Sir Michael Stoute's colt could recoup losses getting a couple of pounds from Haydock maiden winner Fastnet Tempest, though the top weight won't be fazed by stepping back up in trip. Richie Mccaw may need this but any market support should be noted and both Jim Dandy and Henry The Explorer appear to be running into form. But Caponova's Haydock bubble was burst last month and he now looks to be in the handicapper's grip.
