Bibury Flyer can shrug off topweight in the nursery, with Treat Me Wild, Ridder and Avertigo other leading players. It often pays to support the topweight in these juvenile handicaps and in Bibury Flyer, Mick Channon has the right ammunition. The filly has been keeping good company and ran with credit in Newbury's Super Sprint before scoring at Doncaster. Pundits reckoned that she may have been feeling the effects of a busy campaign when last of nine at Redcar last time, but surely her trainer would not be running her here if that was the case. We shall give her the benefit of the doubt and take her to bounce back. Treat Me Wild got the better of useful yardstick The Crooked Ring at Kempton and will be a danger to all, while Ridder, behind the latter earlier at the same track looks held but should again be there or thereabouts. Avertigo ran out of steam close home at Leicester and is yet another to consider, but Bibury Flyer had good form earlier in the season and is the pick.
