Verdict

FACTUAL won on debut last June and shaped well when making up ground late on his return from a lengthy break at Lingfield last month. He remains open to improvement with his recent run behind him and is taken to resume winning ways. Majestic Dane made an impressive winning start over this C&D and is feared most, with newcomer Zain Primus the pick of the remainder.
