Verdict
SUNDAY BESS looks the safest option in an open affair. She's yet to win but has generally been competing in much better company and, with a visor back on and Keiren Fallon in the plate, she can finally open her account. Caravan Rolls On landed a double over today's trip earlier this year, but this is his first start since May, while Daruband may be better than he's shown in maidens and could figure on his handicap bow. Fairling made all at Brighton a fortnight ago and is upped in grade off a 7lb higher mark, but both Birdwatcher and Little Jazz failed to complete last time and are best watched.
