Verdict

FRANTASTIC won here on his penultimate outing and held his own reasonably well in a tougher event at Ascot last time, so looks capable of giving weight all round to his opposition here. Beny Nahar Road has been expensive to follow so far but could find this test more suitable, whilst bottom-weight Jacovec Cavern is also interesting.

  1. FRANTASTIC
