Verdict
Princess Shoka isn't one to place too much faith in and while she would appear well in here, she needs treating with caution. Fulvio has plenty going for him. He is effective over course and distance, goes well for his up and coming apprentice, but the only negative about him is his outside draw, which is far from ideal. A chance is taken with Molotov, who shaped as though this trip would suit when staying on over six-furlongs at Wolverhampton on Saturday evening. He is a half-brother to an 11-furlong winner, and his dam was a winner over this trip, so there is every reason to believe it will suit, and although he has yet to tackle this faster surface, it isn't expected to prove a hindrance.
