Verdict

Torolight returned to the Flat with a fourth at Goodwood while Kings Royal Hussar will appreciate the longer trip on his second start after wind surgery. Torbellino won over 1m4f at Lingfield last time and Oisin Murphy keeps the partnership intact while Persian Sun has been thereabouts on the all-weather lately and High Wells was runner-up over 2m at Haydock recently. But THE FIDDLER will be sharper for last month’s comeback at Newmarket and having completed a double over 1m6f at Redcar last season, Chris Wall’s charge gets the vote in an open affair.
