Monadreen Flyer is selected to land this race at the principal expense of Sovine and Hucking Hero. The Irish trained gelding raced against some fair types as a juvenile in his native country and put his head infront against moderate opposition at Lingfield a couple of days ago. A 2lb rise does not look harsh under the circumstances. Sovine appears to have some issues with the starting stalls. When consenting to go in, she has no such issues with the idea of racing and is now up for a hat-trick. Hucking Hero is interestingly dropped down to six furlongs having obliged twice over a mile in recent weeks. Kingsgate Castle has obviously taken some time to come to hand but could do no more than win in what was a poor maiden. Rockfield Lodge makes a return from a sizeable absence while The Game has plenty of weight to give all around. Monadreen Flyer has caught the eye on numerous occasions and can get his head infront here.
