Verdict
This is little better than a seller and Favorisio will be a popular choice to follow up his recent win at Southwell. However, he does take a bit of knowing and with regular pilot Tony Culhane elsewhere, he looks one to take on. Windshift, who was beaten just over a length by Favorisio and meets his conqueror on 4lbs better terms, must have a chance of gaining his revenge. He looked as though he might benefit for a step up in trip that day and will again be ridden by Phillip Makin, who seems to get on well with the seven-year-old. Mission To Mars appreciated the forcing tactics employed last time, but whether he will get such a soft lead again remains to be seen, while both Caliban and Adalpour have a chance of sorts if putting their best foot forward, something they cannot be relied upon to do. However, a chance is taken with the ex-Polish Teorban, who ran well for a long way in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last weekend. A winner in his home country over a mile, he starts off his handicapping career here on a moderate mark and if he retains any ability at all, he should see these off on these terms.
