In depth
Verdict
The consistent Fayr Fall should be in the mix once again though he's now 10lb higher than when scoring over C&D in July. BAJAN BEAR makes more appeal as he ran well in better company over 6f at Newmarket last time and both of last year's victories came over today's longer trip. Loyal N Trusted has also been threatening to get his head in front though he's creeping up the weights without actually winning and Abhaath is not easily dismissed despite a poor recent effort at Bath as he'd scored over C&D before that.
