Verdict
Fanfaron Dino has won three times and is capable on his day but he still throws in the odd shocker, as he did last time at Fontwell. Placed three times in maidens, FANDABIDOZI was only fourth on his handicap debut but still has time on his side and the booking of Harry Cobden again is a positive. Alioski hasn’t been disgraced on the Flat recently and a 10lb claimer is on board so he’ll be getting 18lb from last month’s Fakenham winner State Of Bliss.
