        Verdict

        This looks best left to Oldenway, who represents the inform Richard Fahey. His second behind Ajeel was made to look better on Sunday, when the third in that event Vicious Warrior, scored in good style at Ripon. Adaleel, has been well placed to win two small events and there should be further improvement to come, while Persian Lightning, a half brother to the useful stayer Height Of Fantasy, is sure to improve for the step up in trip.
