Verdict
Another hard contest for punters to fathom and the draw could play a part in proceedings. Roses Of Spring, Texas Gold and Lord Kintyre are all sure to have there supporters but we will take a chance on Cd Flyer. The gelding from the Mick Channon yard is a hold up performer that needs an end to end gallop and luck in running but if everything were to fall into place he would be hard to beat off what looks a fair mark, and his latest third behind Aemagnac suggests he is about to hit top form. Roses of Spring rates the main danger she is a course and distance winner and she will find this a lot easier than when well beaten in a class b handicap last time out. Texas Gold is another worthy of consideration he has dropped to a winning mark but his best efforts of late have come on the AW. Lord Kintyre was third behind Roses Of Spring last time out but he is better off at the weights and there should not be much between them. Of the remainder Hard To Catch and Devise are both in form and it would be no surprise if they were also involved in the thick of the action.
