Many out of form runners and so we have narrowed it down to Outrageous Flirt, Carnivore and Spanish Law, with the first named just getting the verdict. Alan Dickman's four-year-old does at least come here in winning form. She beat Hamaasy and company in fair enough style over six furlongs at Hamilton earlier this month. This doesn't look any stronger and over a trip that is more to her liking she looks the one to be on. Carnivore is hasn't raced since November when finishing a close up fifth behind some better types. The stable is going well still and a big run can be expected. Spanish Law is one of the more consistent runners in the line up and wasn't beaten far in a similar contest at Ayr last time out. Meanwhile Next Ness has at least won a race this season and is another to consider for the places. However Outrageous Flirt comes here with the best recent form and is expected to make it back to back victories
