FLYING SPARKLE made a winning start at Windsor last summer and has been placed in all three starts subsequently including the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar. Rated 87, she gets another chance stepping up in distance today. Bidding War showed some promise on last year’s debut and is less exposed than Uther Pendragon though the lattter drops in class for this while Greaves is a likely improver and Urban Aspect is a newcomer to note though may do better over middle-distances in the future.
