Verdict

Farnborough gets the vote over Indian Edge and Haunt The Zoo, while Dundonald is not without claims if he runs up to his best. The last named has fared well at this sort of level and can still give his connections a bit of fun. However, he has also been frustrating to follow and cannot be trusted implicitly. Haunt The Zoo is a game mare that is holding her form. She should again run her race and should not be too far away at the finish. Indain Edge returns to the All Weather after a couple of near misses on turf. He too is in good heart and should make this a good test. However, Farnborough has a far more convincing profile and, with Amir Quinn again taking a very handy 3lb off with his claim, everything looks to be in place for this lightly raced four-year-old to finally get off the mark in this company.
