Verdict
Given James Fanshawe's record here, it may not be wise to completely disregard the lightly-raced Arabic but he looks too close in the weights to EXCEEDEXPECTATIONS. Michael Bell's gelding has shown his best form so far on Polytrack and carries a penalty for his victory at Wolverhampton but that form is head and shoulders above anything his rivals have shown so far. Exopuntia likes it here but is still 2lb higher than her last winning mark and isn't easy to predict nowadays.
