Verdict

Cases can be made for a few of these but FRUIT N NUT is fancied to get back on the up on just his second handicap start with Brain Hughes back in the plate. Al Zaraqaan was unable to complete the 5-timer 4 weeks ago but he remains one to be positive about so he heads up the dangers, ahead of Matchless, who doubled his tally in small-field contests earlier this month.
