Verdict
FLAMING SPEAR has only run once before on Polytrack but has won both starts on Tapeta. His two runs since winning at Goodwood in August have been on soft going and he could easily bounce back here on this more suitable surface. Straight Right is respected after making a successful return from a lay-off at Chelmsford and Hathal was just behind the selection at Ascot last time, though makes his all-weather debut. Victory Bond and Pactolus are specialists on the artificial surfaces and it would be no surprise to see both in the firing-line but Silver Quartz has switched stables since scoring at Ascot in September and is another facing the all-weather for the first time.
