Verdict
The market will probably be the best guide as to whether the confidence of FLEW THE NEST has been affected by a fall at Fontwell on Thursday. She started favourite last week and was closing on the leaders when coming down so is obviously though capable off her current mark and can gain compensation here. Divine Folly tries to follow up last month's course victory over 2m4f while Royal Peak should go well having narrowly failed to beat Listen And Learn over this trip at Stratford off his new mark. Henry Hurst was nibbled at in the market when fourth over course and distance last week but again flattered to deceive and is proving difficult to win with.
