Verdict
FAIRWAY TO HEAVEN hasn't raced since winning a classified event at Thirsk over a year ago. He gets a speculative vote on his reappearance despite a 9lb higher mark as he's Frankie Dettori's only ride of the meeting. Zhiggy's Stardust bids for a hat-trick having landed a double at Kempton but Bop It makes more appeal as he finished ahead of a handful of these when beaten only a length at York last time. Diman Waters and Hadaj were not far behind the former on the Knavesmire and should also go well with Cruise Tothelimit another to consider off his current mark.
