Verdict

NEFYN DAWN is bred for the Flat, and having shaped quite well from a poor track position at Huntingdon, he could be the way to go against mainly longer-term jumps prospects. Act of Authority cost plenty after his point win and is sure to be popular, with Kingston Bridge another to consider.
