Verdict
DANDY FITZ went with plenty of zest when finding only a well backed (and subsequent winner) rival too strong over C&D 11 days ago and from the same mark, he has plenty to recommend him. Golden Rainbow will doubtless give it another good go, while Holbache will surely be back on his game with his reappearance behind him.
