Verdict

This looks a modest heat with few making any appeal. Epsom Flyer is relatively unexposed and may well improve again on his second at Plumpton. Frank N Fair and Comedy House would have each-way claims on their best form while Hudibras could be interesting off bottom weight with Freddie Mitchell taking off a further 7lb. PEMBROKE HOUSE (NAP) has to be the call after his demolition job at Towcester. The slightly longer trip won't be a problem and Michael Heard keeps the partnership intact.
