In depth
Verdict
Signoret has the best recent form of the Fahey duo but Intruder is partnered by Ryan Moore and not easily dismissed. It may prove irrelevant anyway as LIGHTNING CHARLIE will not have to improve much on a debut third at Newbury to land this for local trainer Amanda Perrett and gets the nod. Fligaz has some improving to do to figure and Magical Daze may be best watched on her debut.
