Bedford Flyer has been raised 6lb having won on the Turf at Lingfield on his handicap debut but Harswell Prince went close again at Musselburgh having won off a lower mark at Hamilton earlier. Crown Princess won a novices’ race over track and trip in July while Disco Beats and Identified go handicapping for the first time but ELECTRIC BLUE (NAP) is preferred. Placed in all three outings so far, James Tate’s filly is due to be raised 5lb for last week’s second at Wolverhampton and can take advantage of the favourable terms.
