Mr Fayez^h¹³

Forecasts

Big Time Maybe (2/1), Therehegoes (5/2), Mr Fayez (4/1), Suanni (15/2), Storm Melody (8/1), Perfect Symphony (17/2), Thakrah (16/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (18/1)

BIG TIME MAYBE has been in terrific form lately and his latest second at Brighton has been boosted by the winner since, so he's a confident choice to make all at the possible expense of Perfect Symphony, who he beat over C&D in May. Therehegoes can also get involved if he's not caught wide from stall 7.
