Verdict

FAIVOIR hasn't looked totally straightforward but there's no doubt he has plenty of ability and he should be up to defying a penalty in a race of this nature. Kakamora was much improved when second over C&D last month and is the main threat with further progress on the cards.

  1. FAIVOIR (FR)
  2. KAKAMORA
  3. MISTER WATSON
