        Verdict

        FAATINAH (NAP), a very smart handicapper in Australia, made an excellent start here when beating Hit The Bid and several of these over the course and distance three weeks ago. Always travelling well off a very fast pace, he went past the runner-up 1f out and stayed on very strongly. The pair were well ahead of the remainder with the strong-finishing Orvar doing best in fourth - Dutch Masterpiece had every chance but couldn't match strides with the front pair and Marnie James was outpaced. The runner-up is 3lb better off so should get closer while Alfredo Arcano followed his double at Dundalk with a fine effort behind Dream Today a fortnight ago, though that was over 6f and he may get taken off his feet
