Verdict
FEAR OR FAVOUR bolted up in a novice stakes over track and trip two weeks ago having run green when behind subsequent winners Deeds Not Words and Aspirant on debut at Windsor. Clive Cox's colt may not have beaten much and doesn't look particularly well treated but has plenty of scope for further improvement and may be good enough to land this nursery. Sefaat is exposed but was only beaten a head at Ffos Las last month while Pensax Lad won a competitive maiden at Ripon and may be improving. The remainder all disappointed last time.
