Verdict

FALMOUTH LAD (4) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer Ali Abdulmajeed. He won his last 3 starts on the bounce in the UK and will be ready to run a big race fresh. Check the market moves. NEPAL (5) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up here, finishing fifth over 1 ?m. Best figures measure up nicely, so stick with him and follow your money. THOSEWERETHEDAYS (6) improved last time out, finishing just over a length from the winner in second at the end of 1 ?m. He can go one better. DOUBLE JUMP (7) is back from a spell of ten months. Closed his last campaign with a minor placing over 1 ½m at this track. Include in all combinations.
