Finch Flyer looks to have no chance, barring accidents, and PASS THE TIME can win a straight match with Theatre Flame. Neil Mulholland's mare was a very decent hurdler and has taken well to the larger obstacles. She will appreciate the step up in trip after getting outpaced over 2m at Newton Abbot and is rated 9lb higher than her market rival.
