      Verdict

      James Bradley came good at Chelmsford recently and is fancied to confirm running with third-placed Rebel Angel despite a 3lb rise. But FADI failed to catch the winner by only a nose at Kempton on his handicap bow and Richard Hughes’ grey colt can go one better in this. Champagny was expected to finish closer at Newcastle last time and Man Made Of Smoke looks no nearer winning.
