Verdict

GUY FAWKES is difficult to oppose having made a winning debut at Southwell last month and beating a couple of previous winners in the process. D J Zanetti was narrowly beaten at Sandown on his debut but that was in the August of last year and he debuts for a new yard while the latter’s stablemate Eadha was well beaten at Wolverhampton on her recent introduction.
