Verdict

Elisezmoi finished second on his chasing bow here just over a year ago but disappointed after. However, he’s had wind surgery since last seen in the spring and this is a modest heat. Valentine's Turf was only headed approaching the last over track and trip a couple of weeks ago and will be fancied to go one better but FANFARON DINO is preferred. He loves the mud, as he showed over hurdles at Uttoxeter less than a year ago, and has been lightly raced.
