Verdict

Fossos arrested a losing run last week and rewarded the industriousness of his new trainer. Second-placed Monsieur Fantaisie has been raised by 2lb for a running-on defeat and that may appear a little mean as OUR MAN IN HAVANA was handed the same penalty for prevailing here on his latest outing. Tony Carroll is also represented by Astrophysics and the veteran continues to hit the minor money with regularity. Fard has a little to find to reverse form with a couple of tonight’s rivals and didn’t offer much resistance at Brighton on his latest start.
