There's nothing to choose between FLY BY WHITE and the visored Zakon on official figures; they don't have a great deal in hand of Cornish Quest whilst Afaara, Suddenly Susan, Dancing All Night and Desert Location must all be feared. Jeremy Noseda has a formidable strike rate here which probably makes Suddenly Susan the one to beat although she was weak in the market and a shade disappointing at Kempton; it will be interesting to see how she fares in the ring this time around. Desert Location is well related and may improve considerably from her debut at Nottingham but the tentative vote is awarded to Richard Hannon's runner who has every chance on the pick of her form as she reverts to maiden company having come up short in a ten furlong nursery.
