In depth
Verdict
FUENTE wasn’t at his best in an amateurs' race last time but was beaten less than a length in a handicap over track and trip before that. A repeat should see him bang there at the finish again in this company. Angel Palanas has a shout at the weights but is best at Southwell while Billyfairplay has made successful raids in this country in the past but has done all his winning over 6f so far. Oberyn Martell is another to consider though has yet to race over this far and Scorched Breath has plenty to find on these terms.
