      Verdict

      FAYDHAN currently resides near the head of the betting for next month's 2000 Guineas. He was put away after dotting up on his racecourse debut at Haydock in July, having sustained a minor injury, and will be a short-price to win this prep-race. The smart Shifting Power won this for the Hannon yard last term and Tupi is expected to go well on last season's second in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood while Jungle Cat steps up in trip on his return having been beaten only a nose in the Gimcrack at York with Glenalmond back in fourth. Home Of The Brave ended last term with a third behind higher-rated horses in a Group 3 at Kempton and could go well.
