Conditions may not be ideal but OASIS FANTASY probably can’t get much lower in the weights and could take advantage of this drop in grade. Native Prospect has been knocking on the door off this mark recently and he’ll handle the soft going better than most so rates a danger. Sparte Quercus was second at Sandown after winning easily at Chepstow but has gone up a further 2lb. Fast Dancer usually runs his race but Emenem and the disappointing Kharbetation are harder to fancy.
