      Verdict

      Expensive buy FAYLAQ (NAP) has improved with each run and there is almost certain to be more to come now he’s stepped up in trip as he’s by Dubawi out of Arc winner Danedream. An opening mark of 73 could be very generous. Battle Of Wills could also enjoy the longer distance having won well last time at Nottingham but has to give 9lb to the selection. Agravain steps up two grades in search of the hat-trick while Mister Chiang hasn’t really fired this season. Cuban Sun has produced contrasting runs the last twice at Nottingham and is best watched.
