Fair Flutter has won over a mile at Beverley so this longer trip should be within his range. There was nothing wrong with his latest second at Ripon but the step up in distance should also suit HAAYIL, who got outpaced over a mile at Kempton last time having led inside the final furlong. He gets the nod, though The Wallace Line was third over this trip on the Polytrack last month. Ultimate Warrior and Blue Talisman are fast becoming disappointments.
