Verdict

Farnborough,Fantasy Defender and Kings Topic look the three to concentrate on in the opener and the narrow vote is given to Farnborough. The selection was a fair second behind Kings Topic last time out but he is better off with that rival here and on these revised terms he is taken to gain his revenge. Fantasy Defender rates the main danger on his latest second behind Summer Charm but he is far from consistent and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Kings Topic is sure to have his supporters but he will do well to win under his penalty. However he is more genuine than most so still has definite place claims. Of the remainder Spark Up is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to Farnborough.
