Verdict

Original Fly, Trompette and Corals Laurel are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Original Fly. The selection wasps a fair third last time out behind Sole Agent he will like the ground and in the hope that first time blinkers brings about some improvement he is taken to score. Trompette rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Blaeberry he remains on a handy mark and should be closely watched in the market. Corals Laurel was a fair third behind Keenan's Future last time. That form has since been franked and with the drop in trip sure to suit she is another with definite place claims. Of the remainder Coach Lane is from a yard in form but looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achived and for the winner we return to Original Fly.
