Flyboy failed to land the odds on his reappearance at Doncaster though not by much and he should go close again. But William Haggas has sent out the last two winners of this and VICTORY BOND has decent claims on his debut second at Newbury in October. Weekend Offender has a shout on his earlier efforts at York and Ayr while Steccando showed promise in finishing third at Redcar on last month's debut. The newcomer Leyburn is a half-sister to winners including the smart pair Centennial and Siren's Song and is another to consider.
