FLY (NAP) showed good progress to remain unbeaten when winning on her handicap bow over track and trip last month, beating the good yardstick Song Of Norway in the process. She can defy a 5lb rise and is preferred to Presumido, placed off today's mark on the last two occasions. Lu's Buddy is getting closer but Live Dangerously is 7lb higher than his win at Epsom in September. Burner remains unexposed and looks a bigger threat than the likes of Zeshov and Molten Lava.
