        Verdict

        A wide open contest here with many in form rivals in opposition including Fabuco, Short Chorus and Sahara Silk and the confident vote goes to Fabuco. The colt made all last time out when defeating Parallel Lines at Bath and if he acts on this surface he will be hard ton beat. Short Chorus rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Backofthenet but he to is unproven on the surface and this looks much more competitive. Sahara Silk is also worthy of consideration she is a course and distance winner and was a fair second behind Baylaw Star last time out form which has since been franked. Of the remainder Fairly Wild is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Fabuco.
