    Verdict

    Mark Johnston sent out the last winner of this and Zabeel Champion arrives on the back of a victory over 1m2f here last week. But a previous attempt at this longer trip fails to boost confidence and FAYLAQ is preferred. The Haggas charge scored over course and distance as a three-year-old and fitted with cheekpieces for the first time after a pipe-opener in Listed company at Kempton, he gets the vote. Madeeh’s winning run on the all-weather came to an end at Chelmsford last time though he’s won on slower ground on Turf in the past.
