Verdict

This may be the most interesting race on the card, despite the small field. Lexington Flair runs in the Middleham Park colours and must have been showing something to be making his debut as a four-year-old this late in the season. Bye Bye Lady attracted market support at Kempton and wasn’t disgraced. She wasn’t given a hard time so there should be plenty more to come. Raining Fire has also hinted at ability but KESIA was impressive at Ascot before finding Listed company too hot at Newmarket and can get back on the winning trail.
