Verdict
Tom Cannon and Jamie Moore have both won this twice in the last eight years but Red Flyer arrives out of sorts and The Whipmaster is preferred. The latter went close at Windsor last time but FULFILLED (NAP) was less than a length behind in third despite failing to get a clear run and may prove the one to side with. Trainer Jim Boyle has sent out two of the last three winners with Meleri making more appeal than Western Stars while Prince Alex placed at Goodwood recently having switched yards yet again.
