Kevin Ryan's FASILYANNE should be able to reverse form with Compton Ford and take this race while Pedregal looks the most likely of the rest to get involved in the dual up front. The selection was beaten by just three parts of a length by Compton Ford on their meeting in similar conditions nine days ago and with our pick running off the same mark and her conqueror now with six pounds extra on his back so form looks destined to be overturned. Given that then Compton Ford we'll need to find improvement to follow up here and while that is feasible it looks unlikely. Pedregal is weighted to be closer to the two we've mentioned after filling third place in their last encounter but he's up a pound and is a little inconsistent. Dispol Grand ran well in a claimer last time and is off a mark good enough to suggest a challenge and Badtanman could also be in the mix after some recent consistent runs. Not the best race to get us under way but a good opportunity for Fasilyanne to score.
