Fluidity is blinkered for the first time and less exposed than stablemate Kashmir Peak. He appears to be improving with experience and there is enough stamina in his pedigree to suggest he'll appreciate this first try at a mile. But the one to beat may be TWO CITIES, who wasn't unduly punished on his debut over 6f here last month. He cost connections 170,000euros as a yearling and the booking of Seamie Heffernan today suggests he's expected to step up on that first run. Muck'N'Brass is closely related to a couple of all-weather winners over this trip and is worth noting on his introduction.
