Verdict
Il Bandito’s second on soft going at Beverley is probably the best form on offer but he might not be much of a price in this and others may have more scope. FABILIS is a full brother to Group 3 and Listed winner Monarch’s Glen and there was a lot to like about his debut at Newbury, where he was in touch with the leaders until approaching the final furlong. Clay was very green when last at Goodwood and Ask The Wind wasn’t given a hard time when fourth at Windsor so is another to consider.
