Verdict

FAATINAH (NAP) is a high-class sprinter in Australia with a Group 2 victory to his credit. He hasn't won for a while but goes particularly well fresh and is reported to have travelled well so can concede weight all-round. Final Venture has won eight races and amassed more prize money when fourth behind the smart Ertijaal last week so he'll be ready to roll while the lightly-raced Van Der Decken made a winning start over 7f here last season and didn't look at his best on his final start. He's one of four Godolphin entries and Kananee, who won four out of five in the UK in 2016 is interesting though it's over a year since he last ran. David O'Meara's Wokingham winner Out Do warmed up with a couple of all-weather runs in November and his trainer will have him spot-on.
