In depth

Verdict

Flylowflylong has already shown a liking for cut in the ground and Ian Semple's filly is taken to defy the burden of 9st 7lb and give weight away to the likes of Global Guardian and Highland Song. The last mentioned is closely matched with the selection on running behind North Walk over course and distance last time and has to be respected on that evidence but Flylowflylong did not get the best of runs that day and is again fancied to come out on top. Miss Sure Bond is less exposed than most of these but has yet to prove that he handles ground as soft as this, while Yarmouth winner The History Man has been well held in two previous starts in this grade and may be a shade high in the weights at present. Inchdhuaig could be of interest on his nursery debut on ground that, on pedigree, should suit although of more interest may be Global Guardian, who showed improved form behind Kings Heir at Catterick last time and should handle the cut in the ground. Flylowflylong has solid claims at the weights and on this ground though and he looks the one to be on.
