Verdict

Fulvio is taken to score here with A Teen and Countrywide Girl put forward as the main dangers. The selection won well in this grade over 1m at Lingfield last time when beating Dial Square. He is dropped in trip here which will not be a problem, and if there is any encouragement from the market then the advice would be to follow the money on this Stuart Williams-trained 5-year-old. A-Teen was disappointing over 5f at Southwell last time but he is interesting as he ran well the last time he tackled this longer trip so it would be no surprise to see him run a big race. Countrywide Girl is returning from a break and this mare certainly has the form to win this, so if she is fit enough to do herself justice then she could go well. Vlasta Weiner has been in good form of late and is another to consider but for the winner we return to Fulvio.
