Verdict
Vision Des Flos could go well if fully wound-up but Due Reward’s form has been patchy since switching yards. Fat Sam probably needed his run at Fontwell but FANZIO (NAP) is undoubtedly well treated nowadays and he is usually thereabouts when Brian Hughes is doing the steering. Give Me A Moment has won four of his last five but a further 6lb rise may have tipped the scales and Light N Strike makes more appeal eased in grade with Tom Bellamy back in the saddle replacing a conditional.
