        In depth

        Verdict

        FRENCH FLYER is penalised for making a winning start over 6f here last month. But Michael Dods’ charge returned a clear winner and is taken to go in again. He’s preferred to stablemate Grimeford Lane but Poet's Prince should be thereabouts having finishing runner-up once again at Hamilton last time. Gabrial The Devil finished closer on his latest start and Mountain Approach is a likely improver for Richard Fahey’s yard.
