        Verdict

        Ffos Las runner-up Fandango appears to be improving but his stable is struggling for winners. Yarmouth fourth Kilim may finally be getting his act together while Rubensian and Mister Showman only found one too good last time. Lady Blanco and File Of Facts won their penultimate starts but CARTWRIGHT should handle the switch back to Turf after getting off the mark at Lingfield and Sir Mark Prescott's superbly-bred colt should relish the longer trip.
