Verdict

Not much to pick between a few of these and FABRICATE might turn around a recent effort behind Extra Elusive at Sandown, though the latter is still progressing and respected. The Royal runner has C&D winning for and would have very sound claims if near his Group 3-winning form of last season. Vintager wasn't beaten far carrying a big weight at Newmarket on return and should run well while Thundering Blue should leave his Sandown effort behind but must concede a penalty.
