There are a few interesting newcomers in this including Faadhel, who is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner in Scandinavia. Richard Fahey runs three with Narcos, who cost 45,000gns, preferred to Amazing Michele and Normandy Blue even though he may be a middle-distance prospect. Dream Mount has a nice pedigree and represents a yard in form while Perfect Hustler missed the break at Windsor and should know more today. MAKE GOOD was a 33/1 chance when scoring over 6f here last month but there looked to be no fluke about the result. He could be even better over this extra furlong and is preferred to another course winner Wasim, even though the latter ran a fine race under a penalty at Haydock.
