Verdict

Richard Fahey won this with a short-priced favourite in 2013 and FIRST TO POST will likely prove popular today. His ability to handle soft ground has to be taken on trust but a debut second at Pontefract gives him preference over stablemate Sunnua. Dressed In Fur makes no appeal on what little she has shown so far so Ahdaf, a brother to Group 3 winning sprinter New Providence, may prove the biggest threat ahead of fellow newcomers Ressurreto and Avenue Of Stars.
