Little Nosegay took advantage of a slide down the weights to win at Wolverhampton last time. She remains on a winning mark, despite a 4lb rise in the weights. Fabulous Flyer has been placed in all three subsequent starts since winning at Lingfield and today’s apprentice was on board when runner-up last time. MIGHTY ZIP is similar in that he too has been placed over 6f on a couple of occasions since winning over course and distance and that includes a third here on Monday. He gets another chance back over the minimum trip today.
