In depth
Verdict
FANTASTIC FLYER (NAP) has now won three of only six outings at this venue having scored over course and distance last time. That form looks solid enough given third-placed Kath's Lustre went on to win over the minimum trip here a week ago - Dean Ivory’s mare is taken to confirm running. Mythical Spirit missed most of last year but landed a course and distance double in 2018 while Wondrous Scene makes her handicap debut for new connections and has more scope than most. Second Collection may prove best of the rest.
