In depth
Verdict
Funfair Wane ran well when an unlucky second last time out, is well in on her best form and looks the one to beat in a competitive affair. Mineshaft was a slightly disappointing favourite last time out but it would be no surprise if he bounced back to his best and he will love the ground. Ho Choi is another to consider his stable is beginning to hit top form and he will like the ground. Tikkun also has scope for improvement and the market will prove the best guide to his chance.
