Verdict

Not a particularly strong event with solid Fibresand form thin on the ground (only three of the field have won on the surface) so despite a 7lb hike and running poor last time THAHAB IFRAJ is chosen to bounce back to life on a surface that he obviously enjoys. One of the main dangers may well come from his stablemate Panatos who has a least shown a modicum of form here and will find this an easier test than when running in France last time. Angel Of The Heart is the other protagonist that catches the eye having shown some promise here last time although her stamina has to be taken on trust. Going Native and the consistent if frustrating hurdler Never A Word are two others worth a mention.
  1. Thahab Ifraj
  2. Panatos
  3. Angel Of My Heart
