Verdict

Mutual Friend won well last time out but we are going to side with TREATY FLYER who is in great form of late and expected to get the better of Premier Des Marais. The selection was mugged late on in better company in her quest for the four-timer at Stratford a couple of starts ago, but gained compensation with a stylish display last time out. She was given a well-judged ride by her in-form jockey and never looked in serious trouble down the home straight. The booking again of Richard Johnson furthers her claims and further improvement may be forthcoming. Premier Des Marais disappointed when switched back to hurdles this month after an unsuccessful spell over fences, but ran a much better race last time out and looks to be on a reasonable mark and should make the money. David Pipe trained Mutual Friend is a horse that often travels well and was the winner of a Southwell handicap last time. He's been hit hard by the handicapper though and things will be tougher this time out. The tongue tie has clearly been a big help to Celticello recently and he looks to be returning to some good form, he's far from his best though and should be of no concern to our selection treaty Flyer.
