Fango Handicap Stakes (Div I)

Yanifer rates highly on our figures, ranked top of the field, and has experience of today's distance and going; the concern is a winless recent run of five starts that underlines the difficulty of converting that promise into a result.

Count Palatine won two starts back and has experience of today's distance and going, arriving here fresh on 23 days' rest carrying 141 lb from stall 3; the worry is that his last outing ended in a sixth, suggesting consistency remains the question.

Misunderstood has been knocking on the door, finishing second in each of his last two starts, and with experience over today's trip and conditions he arrives in fine fettle just 17 days after his latest near-miss, making him a compelling each-way proposition at 141 lb from stall six.

Mr King bounced back to winning ways three starts back and brings solid distance and going experience into this, with our rating of 85 suggesting he holds more ability than his official mark of 77 implies; the risk is that his last two efforts have been modest, and he will need to bounce back sharply.

Winless in her last six starts, Vixey did post a third three starts back to show she can get competitive, though a fourth last time out and weight of 137 lb from stall nine make progress a challenge here.
