In depth

Verdict

Placed in all three starts in France for Andre Fabre including both starts on the all-weather at Deauville, REVOLUTIONARY WAR may prove good enough in this. Jamie Osborne’s new inmate is preferred to Belabour, third here on last month’s debut, while Shah Of Armaan returns to maiden company after a poor effort in a Newcastle handicap. Gamrah has yet to figure while Bob Hopeful is out of a prolific dam and makes his belated racecourse debut.
