Kylkenny managed to demolish a decent field in classified company here a week last Saturday and looks more than capable of following up in this handicap event. Hugh Morrison's charge was returning from a fair absence but had things under control from a long way out. Sudden Flight rarely runs a bad race. He is certainly game enough to take this but the suspicion is that the handicapper has had ample opportunity to take his measure. Brian Ellison's team are in good order and he sends out Medallist (who took a maiden for Sir Michael Stoute at Haydock) and Crunchy. Dominic Fox is a much improved jockey of late and the latter could well be capable of going in under a 6lb penalty. Bhutan is well-treated in comparison to his turf form but is frustrating to follow. Tight Squeeze has been well-fancied in a number of similar heats without delivering the necessary. Fast Foil was most progressive last term and completed her season with a Conditions race win at Doncaster. The mare cut no ice on previous forays here and is one to have reservations about.
