Verdict

Harrison's Flyer looks the one to be with here and he is taken to score at the main expense of Troodos Jet and Elliot's Choice. The selection was dropped in grade slightly after running a fair race in a better contest than this at Thirsk last time. He had previously run well at Leicester when a close second behind True Magic and with his yard in form he looks the one they all have to beat. Troodos Jet was fourth on the AW behind Firenze last time but looked very one-paced and the drop in trip is not sure to suit so we are happy to overlook him on this occasion. Elliot's Choice would have a chance on his best form but he has not progressed as expected and the application of a first time visor does not instill confidence. Ariesanne is bred to do better in time so is best watched on her debut and for the winner we return to Harrison's Flyer.
