In depth
Verdict
Another wide open affair in which jockeyship could be all important. The TEAMtalk selection is Fabrezan. The gelding from the Nick Williams yard was a fair third at Kempton behind Take Heed on similar ground and a reproduction of that form would see him go close. Knightsbridge King, from the bang-in-form Alan King yard has run well in defeat of late but he has already been tried in blinkers which indicates connections think he is keeping a bit for himself. Glen Warrior was a good second behind Kadito at Hereford last time and must be feared. Dame Fontayne, the topweight could also go well but his best form is on faster ground which is a major concern. Bobsbest would have a chance on his second behind Stoney Path at Worcester but he disappointed at Cheltenham last time. Of the others L'Etang Bleu is well in on some of his form and any market support could be significant.
