Having been competitive from a mark of 105 back in April, William Haggas' FAYLAQ gets the vote to notch a fourth victory of his career having turned in a rare poor effort at Sandown 3 weeks ago. First-time blinkers go on and he can get back to winning ways from this sort of mark. Victory Chime finished runner-up in that same contest so he's feared most, ahead of Spirit Dancer and King Ottokar.
