Verdict
WASEEM FARIS is difficult to get past in this contest. He ran out an impressive eight-length winner at Bath on his debut and, with improvement likely, Mick Channon's colt should follow up here before taking up one of next month's fancy entries. Hidden Passion also won at Bath last time when landing the odds with the minimum of fuss and should figure ahead of Mr Majeika. The latter won at Ffos Las before his latest third at Kempton with today's rival I'm Still The Man behind. Quite A Thing showed signs of temperament at Beverley last month having won her debut on the turf track here in good style before that but could go close if back on her best behaviour.
