Verdict

Bibury Flyer, Molly Dancer and Our Fugitive are three against the field in this nursery and the vote goes to Bibury Flyer. #The selection has been kept very busy of late bit he will be hard to beat on his best form. The drop in trip should suit and in this small field he is taken to score. Molly Dancer rates the main danger this half-sister to Funfair Wain showed improved form when third behind Asian Tiger last time and off what looks a fair mark and with the drop in trip sure to suit she will not be far away. Our Fugitive is another worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Lucky Emerald last time but he just gave the impression he would be better over further and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Earl Of Links is from a yard in form and and is another with place claims but he is more exposed than most. So in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Bibury Flyer.
