Fly More, Flaran and Enjoy The Buzz are the three for the finale and the vote is given to Enjoy The Buzz. The selection was not given the best of rides from George Baker at Wolverhampton yesterday when he was dropped out at the back of the field before staying-on without getting competitive. He had previously been running well and if he takes his chance here then we think he will be the one to beat. Fly More was a little disappointing at Brighton last time when he failed to handle the fast ground. He is therefore readily opposable here although if the rain came and some juice got into the ground then he would be of interest. Flaran ran well when narrowly beaten behind Kew The Music on the all-weather at Wolverhampton, but he hasn't been seen out since November and may just need the run tonight. Come Away With Me is a fairly consistent sort and is another with place prospects, but the selection has plenty in his favour and we will stick with Enjoy The Buzz as the one they have to beat.
