Flying Patriarch, Ready To Rumble and Instant Appeal, look the principals in another trappy affair and the vote is given to Flying Patriarch. The selection would win this easily on his best form and although disappointing last time out, he has conditions to suit here and if the first time tounge tie brings about some improvement he will be hard to beat. Ready To Rumble rates the main danger on his best form but he pulled up for no apparent reason last time out so he can not be put forward with any confidence and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Instant Appeal was a fair fourth behind Tallow Bay last time and is sure to run his race but he again looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the remainder, Kinkeel is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Flying Patriarch.
