Verdict

FLYLIKEANEAGLE looks to have another good opportunity having won three of his last four outings. Lucinda Russell’s charge is penalised for last week’s success at Nottingham but this looks no tougher. Far From A Ruby steps up in distance after returning a beaten favourite over 7f on her last couple of starts while Bobby Shaftoe’s win at Musselburgh came over the latter distance in a lowly classified race. The remaining pair are even harder to recommend.
