oddschecker Verdict
Having supplemented his third at Windsor with a triumph on soft ground at Lingfield recently, Fans Favourite merits serious consideration in his follow-up bid. However, quicker conditions demand more of the three-year-old, with OFF SPIN a shade more appealing. Tim Easterby's inmate arrives on the back of hitting the frame at Pontefract and this galloping track may play to his strengths. Shifter completes the shortlist.
Prediction: 1st Off Spin, 2nd Fans Favourite, 3rd Shifter
