Verdict

Freddy Fanatapan is starting to slip down the weights again and this looks a little easier than recent tests. Hepburn could figure if ready after a break and Kingsmill Gin remains unexposed. Mystic Court and Flou Artsistique, now blinkered, also warrant a mantion but THE DARLEY LAMA (NAP) also sports blinkers for the first time and Richard Newland’s six-year-old, well backed in a better race at Plumpton last time, can’t get much lower in the weights.
