The market may prove informative and any support for Fulvio would fuel our confidence and he is taken to score at the main expense of Golden Spectrum and Jalouhar. The selection is from a yard who are renowned for landing gambles, and Fulvio looks to have an obvious chance here. He was disappointing in a handicap last time, but back in this grade he is very difficult to oppose. Golden Spectrum won well last time when beating Penel at Beverley. He does look thoroughly exposed but he had the blinkers on at Beverley and they seemed to do the trick. They are on again today and he has to be respected. Jalouhar was a fair fourth behind Flying Edge last time, bur his best form is over 6f and on that basis we will take him on. Spy Gun ran his best race for some time when second behind Vademecum here last time so he is another to consider, but Fulvio looks the safest option and is given the vote.
