      Verdict

      FLYIN’ SOLO could only manage fourth at Windsor when bidding for a hat-trick. But that was in a tougher handicap than this and David Menuisier’s colt gets another chance. Keep It Brief has won at Kempton on a couple of occasions and is penalised for last week’s success while Saligo Bay placed at Chester when upped to today’s trip. Oz Legend steps up from 1m2f in first-time cheekpieces while Skycutter went close at Ripon on his debut for a new yard.
