Verdict
Richard Hannon's stable has won the last two renewals and FIT can complete the hat-trick. She only cost 12,000 euros but is by the speedy Kodiac out of a mare that won over 7f for the yard, which has made its customary fast start to the Turf campaign. Mark Johnston's two-year-olds appear to be well forward and Beaverbrook should also give a good account. His dam won as a juvenile but he'll almost certainly be seen in a better light when upped in distance later in the year. Rod Millman and David Evans both have a couple of entries with Concur and Raj To Riches worth monitoring for any market interest.
