Verdict
Fadas may be capable of better and Dan Skelton’s runners here are always worth a second look but this should chiefly concern recent course and distance winner Cesar Et Rosalie and CRACKDELOUST. The 7lb that the latter receives may prove significant as he was far from disgraced for a valuable event over 2m4f here last time when he possibly didn’t stay the trip. Giant Redwood once won for Aidan O’Brien on the Flat but that seems a long time ago now.
