Verdict
Fazayte took another step forward when scoring at Stratford 12 days ago and it would be no surprise to see him complete a quick double but we are inclined to take a chance on KISS MY FACE. He has placed just the once in 10 runs over hurdles so far but this represents a drop in class and he wasn’t disgraced over 2m on the Flat last month with a visor added today. Quiet Thunder was better at Stratford last month and Cafe Pushkin was just beaten off the mark at Fontwell at the start of the year. Prison Break and Bertie's Bandana also have scope.
