Verdict

It could be a profitable day for Kieren Fallon's followers as FOCAIL MAITH may be another for the former champion. He met trouble in-running when only beaten half-a-length at Windsor last month and has dropped a pound in the weights since - this is a lesser contest. Dazzling Valentine is also eased in grade but Gabrial's Hope is taking on better horses after winning at Wolverhampton and Lingfield and also carries a penalty. Trainer David Simcock also runs the returning Attraction Ticket and he may be the pick of the remainder with Maison Brillet disappointing since winning on the Polytrack in February.
