        Verdict

        Fairmac has returned to the same mark as when scoring here back in April and drops down in class along with GIBSIDE (NAP). Tim Easterby’s charge won at York last month with A La Francaise well behind. The latter had earlier finished runner-up to Simple Star at Hamilton when Smart Lass was third. Freak Out looks worth another try over this longer trip having completed a double over 1m2f at Beverley.
