Summary: “Good trial, plenty to follow, FARAVALLO is progressive and opted to trial instead of racing last weekend, fit and in-form and went to the front and stayed on the bridle. NO RAIN EVER and READ ABOUT IT were two with eye-catching efforts from back in the field, neither there to extend themselves.”
