Verdict

Two four-year-olds have won this recently so June French isn't out of it after a better run at Doncaster last time. Lombard Light made a reasonable start behind Utopian at Fontwell but Pearls Legend looks best of those with experience after a very nice debut behind Salmanazar here a month ago. FOLLOW THE FACTS is the fifth foal of the classy Fiddling The Facts who has already produced three winners. The latest offspring doesn't look to have too much to do and should make a winning start.
