In depth
Verdict
Following a really nice introduction in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket, KITEFLYER should have few problems getting off the mark in this much less-competitive novice stakes. Sir Michael Stoute also runs Yarmouth fourth Lebsayer but he will probably need more time while Miss Metropolitan if fitted with cheekpieces on her debut. Private Bryan has a middle-distance pedigree.
