Verdict

Our Faye, Dark Missile and China Cherub are the three to focus on here with Our Faye taken to continue here winning run. Dark Missile took the Wokingham before being well beaten on an easier surface at York. He is weighted up to the hilt but is in good heart and this faster surface will be more to his liking. China Cherub won on the all weather before running second twice, latterly to the progressive Bee Eater who has won since, at Newmarket. She is well treated just now and should run a big race. Our Faye is unbeaten this season, having run up a hat trick, and the manner of her victories suggests she is capable of shrugging off a small penalty here. Our Faye will be hard to beat.
