Verdict
FACT OR FABLE's only victory in 39 starts came over the course and distance in December but he's back on a winning mark and went close to doubling his tally at Lingfield on Saturday so gets the nod. Rockesbury is back on the same mark as his last success at Chelmsford in December and didn't get the run of the race back there last week but the maiden Outtake has been put back up 3lb for finishing second here last month. Viola Park, who initiated a double over the course and distance in February, has been given a chance by the assessor and is 1lb lower than his last success so should make a bold bid to add to his 11 all-weather victories.
