Verdict

No recent winning form to consider but Kieren Fallon's presence on FLY SOLO takes the eye. The latter had a subsequent winner back in fourth when runner-up at Catterick last time and can go one better dropping back down in class. Love Marmalade has decent claims on his latest effort over 1m6f here but Magnolia Ridge was beaten out of sight despite finishing third at Beverley recently. The veteran Grand Diamond popped-up off a similar mark at Ayr in October and is preferred to stablemate Latin Rebel while Merchant Of Medici has tumbled down the weights and will take advantage soon.
