Verdict

Havana Dawn is the only one of these to have run in a nursery having finished fourth in what looked a hot contest at Haydock on Saturday where she didn't appear to enjoy the fast going. Archie Watson's juveniles have been sweeping all before them this season so Fashion Free, who led for a long way over 7f at Kempton, has to be of interest. Richard Fahey has two entries with Paul Hanagan on board THE GINGER BULLET, who was running on over the minimum at Doncaster and gets the nod. Infinite Grace hasn't shown much in two starts since her Beverley victory though one was in a Listed contest while Lexington Quest ran well on ground much softer than he enjoyed at Nottingham. Mark Johnston won this last year and The Lazy Monkey has been leading when tackling 7f so should do better over this trip.
