In depth
Verdict
Treaty Flyer is less exposed than her main market rivals and, having run well off a 1lb lower mark in each of her last two starts, is taken to open her account in a handicap under conditions that should suit ideally with Muckle Flugga and Farne Isle expected to give her most to do. Muckle Flugga was pulled out of a race on Wednesday on account of unsuitably soft ground and would not want any further rain, while Calomeria comes from a yard that can do little wrong at present but has given little sign of encouragement of late. La Marette could probably do with some more help from the handicapper and of more interest may be Farne Isle, who should do better over today's longer trip. Treaty Flyer looks to be going the right way now though and she gets the vote.
