Fly With The Stars is taken to finally get off the mark with Green Wadi and Bonny Bright Eyes rating as the main opposition. The selection is rated 80 so life in handicaps will not be a breeze. It is something of a surprise that he is upped in trip but there will be no surprise if he attempts to gallop his rivals into submission from the opening of the gate. Green Wadi has had plenty of chances. That didn't stop the punters piling in again at Chester but they were soon thwarted. Bonny Bright Eyes has a very interesting pedigree. The daughter of Barathea is related to plenty of European winners and has not been rushed to the racecourse. Hunting Country already looked in need of further on his Hamilton introduction. Madison Heights shaped with a modicum of promise during his juvenile career and it will be interesting to see whether he has trained on or not. Stellando has a father that implies stamina but with a sprint dam, we will wait and see what the market has to offer. King Fingal is here off an improved effort at Thirsk. Military Power rates best of the rest. Fly With The Stars has a good opportunity of landing this maiden on the proviso that nothing has improved past him.
