In depth
Verdict
Schottische was tackling a trip much too short when staying on over 6f at Lingfield and this is more like it. FLYING TEMPO showed his first glimmer of form at Nottingham in October and looks to be progressing along the right lines. He may have been a little unfortunate behind Keep Calm over the C&D last time and looks the one to be with. The front-running Una Bella Cosa may do better ridden with a little more restraint but Darkest Night's best runs have been over 7f and Precision Strike is badly out of form at present.
