Layla's Hero has been winning plating races over longer trips this year and should be in the mix once again. Bush Warrior returned a losing favourite dropped into a claimer at Kempton last time and Wild Tobacco did the same when well beaten in a Leicester selling race on his latest start. A chance is taken that STONEFIELD FLYER fares better taking a significant drop in class and he should go very close if running anywhere near his placed efforts in handicaps earlier this year.
