Verdict

This is an interesting race with race with quite a few that can have a case made for them, and Flight Fellow is only a tentative choice. Bishopric has won two of his four races and judged on the way he beat Prizeman here last time, is not done with winning yet. Flighty Fellow has won from a mark of 90, which means that he has to be given chances here, particularly as he seems a bit more tractable in his racing now. Mysterinch has been running respectably, while Consonant seems better on the all-weather, although a market move would be interesting. Starbeck has been quite highly tried and holds chances on the best of her form of the last year. Sew 'N' So Character has very solid handicap form and can be given chances while the well-bred Primus Inter Pares is a little hard to assess but looked very promising when second to Oriental Warrior at Ascot on his final start last last season. Craiova is now dropping to a more reasonable mark, which should show him in a better light, and Cripsey Brook was only just denied from a mark of 78 last time, which gives a further indication of how competitive this race looks. Oddsmaker is another that wins in his turn and will probably appreciate any further easing of the going. As we say, it's tricky, with the vote going to Flighty Fellow.
