In depth

Verdict

Joe Fanning has already gone close twice on CABALLERO this season since the gelding returned from his winter break and the son of Camacho is taken to put matters right off an unchanged mark and with the addition of first-time cheekpieces as he's well drawn and both trip and ground are fine. Stablemate Chookie Dunedin appeals at the opposite end of the handicap and is a fine stable servant while the likes of Higher Kingdom, Yoshimi and Donnelly's Rainbow should be contending for a place at least.
