Verdict
Fayez finished last at Wolverhampton on his latest start having won over track and trip before that while Towerlands Park remains 7lb higher than when scoring at Kempton last month. It remains to be seen how General Hazard copes with a further 4lb rise as he bids for a hat-trick while Eltezam went close at Chelmsford earlier but is upped in class today along with Easy Tiger. A prolific winner in France including on the all-weather, MING DYNASTY (NAP) ran well for a long way over 1m4f here on his debut for Marco Botti. He drops down a grade for this and could make a bold bid.
