        Verdict

        FLEURIR was in the front rank throughout and only succumbed close home when beaten a neck at Newmarket. That's the stand-out form here and she should go one better. Child Of Lir was beaten 21 lengths when last of three at Catterick but Retraction would have to be a threat on his second at Redcar though he hasn't been seen since November. Le Fils De Force won a bumper in November 2021 but hasn't been seen since the following month. Monty Be Quick cost £88,000 and is related to four winners so he's one to note in the market.
