FIESOLE was impressive when winning at Down Royal and in a race where good recent form is thin on the ground, can go in again. Supporters of Theydon Park need deep pockets but he should run his race and pick up some prize money. Stormey came back from a break with a solid effort and may have more to offer. Sharjah and Rock On Barney are both worth a look in the market.
