Verdict

A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be The Salwick Flyer.Supercast and Ermine Grey and the narrow vote is given to The Salwick Flyer. The selection beat Supercast last time out and he is better off at the weights here with that rival so he is taken to win again. Supercast is sure to have his supporters but again he looks vulnerable under top weight. Ermine Grey was a fair second behind Joe Jo Star last time and is another with place claims but she has yet to win over this distance. Johnston's Glory hails from a yard in form and looks on a handy mark so is worth a cautionary look in the market. Muncaster Castle may need the run after a 72 day braek and with this in mind The Salwick Flyer is our idea of the winner.
