Rated 83, FAWAAREQ was beaten a length at Newmarket on his reappearance and should find this easier. Owen Burrows’ colt has a fitness advantage over the returning Haraz, who has a similar mark to the selection and makes his debut for David O’Meara’s yard. But Heir To A Throne could prove a bigger threat despite finishing a well beaten second at Doncaster last month and it would be no surprise if Clear Evidence also gets involved dropping back in trip on his return to action.
