        Verdict

        Fabrian might be the answer to this tricky contest with Eijaaz and Mister Right rated as the main dangers. The selection is in good form and he goes very well for today's pilot James Doyle. He won well last time when beating Polish Spirit at Nottingham last time with Eijaaz back in third. That rival has got a pull in the weights here but he is more exposed than our selection who seems to be going the right way. Sir Haydn has been disappointing of late and as his best form has been on the AW he looks worth taking on. Mister Right was a beaten favourite at Windsor last time but he was hampered in the race and may have got closer to the winner than he did had it not been for that. He had previously won well at Bath but that was in a lady riders' handicap so the form may not work out. Bally Hall is from a yard in form and is another to note in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Fabrian.
