Figaro Flyer is in great form and looks the one to be with again tonight, with Brunelleschi and Scotchman put forward as likely dangers. The selection has a penalty for his latest success at York when he beat Making Music. However, he won with plenty in hand that day and he remains one to stay on the right side of. Brunelleschi is a lightly-raced colt and he won well last time at Windsor when beating Mouchoir. However, that wasn't the strongest of races and a couple of his rivals found trouble in-running, so it may be best to not take the form too literally and we will take him on tonight. Scotchman showed promise on his first two starts but failed to build on that last time and on that back of that disappointing run we will oppose him. Takoda is eased in grade after running in the Weatherby's Super Sprint last time, so he is another not without a chance, but for the winner we will stick with the in-form Figaro Flyer.
