Verdict
Fast Act occupied places in some high profile events last term but didn't appear to act on Tapeta on his reappearance at Wolverhampton. Lightscameraction was in excellent form on the all-weather over the winter, beating Blue Aegean in the Sprint Championship at Lingfield, but finished last in a Group 3 at Ascot last month. He was four lengths behind Zuhoor Baynoona at Musselburgh in October and Richard Fahey's filly then went on to score at this level at Bath. Strath Burn ended his first campaign finishing as runner-up in the Group 3 Cornwallis at Newmarket and will be better for his run at Ascot where he led for a long way over that 6f trip. TENDU (NAP) was beaten just over a length in that latter event and that looks the best current form on offer. That was only her fourth start and she has more scope than most of her rivals so should be good enough for this.
