FOGNINI has done most things right, scoring at Yarmouth and Redcar, and though conceding weight all round looks to have the edge. Invincible One was well beaten on his debut but led for a long way over this trip at Salisbury and only faded close home. Swinging Eddie has been showing good pace before weakening, a remark that also applies to Khafooq, but the main threat may come from Lady Madison. A €42,000 yearling, she's by No Nay Never out of a mare who has produced winners over this trip with her first two foals.
