FANION D'ESTRUVAL ran up to his best when third in the Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby despite finishing with running left, which suggests he has a bigger performance in him over this sort of trip with Charlie Deutsch back on board and with headgear applied. Hitman is the form pick on these terms but he comes with risks attached having reportedly bled in the King George. Last year's winner Eldorado Allen gains top marks for reliability so should make another bold bid despite a 6 lb penalty.
