Verdict

Fanfaronade doesn't look a stable star but won't need to be and she ran her best race to date when narrowly beaten into third here last month. Rock Up In Style stepped up to an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton and stayed on strongly to gain his first victory so a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. GREYZEE had been threatening to win for some time before front-running tactics paid off with an emphatic victory over a mile at Kempton. He's up 6lb but the longer trip shouldn't pose a problem and Rod Millman's grey can complete a double. Agent Basterfield showed plenty of potential in his first campaign and, with his yard in form, is one to keep an eye on.
