Wild Flower came out just the best in a fight to the line with ARCANISTA over track and trip last time. But Chris Dwyer’s filly re-opposes on better terms today and may well take her revenge. Stablemates Indian Affair and Kyllukey are usually thereabouts at this level without winning with the latter preferred on this occasion while Gold Club’s long losing run continues and Everkyllachy has yet to win on the all-weather.
