TANGHAN finished clear of the rest when finding only stablemate Flyman too good on his debut at York. The latter has since won again and Richard Fahey's colt won't need to improve to open his account in this company. Fletcher Christian has regressed since a couple of placed efforts earlier in the season. He's still preferred to Clean Blow, however, unless the latter can rediscover the form of his debut third at Windsor. The newcomers Cross My Heart and Speed Date share the same sire but the latter is out of a prolific mare and may come out best of that pair.
Fletcher Christian 16-1 (9-3) Prominent, led after 1f, headed over 1f out, weakened final furlong, 5th of 11, 10l behind King Dragon (9-3) at Windsor 6f 2yo mdn (5) sft in Jul.
