      Verdict

      Bibury Flyer may return to form here, with Miss Cassia, Talcen Gwyn and African Storm all worth a mention. Mick Channon has slowly but surely got his string back to form and we can expect to see a good few winners over the next month. Bibury Flyer went off the boil a bit after scoring at Doncaster in July, but was unlucky in running at Salisbury when sent off favourite last time. He has run well in testing conditions before and can defy topweight. Miss Cassia was another that can be counted unlucky on her running at Brighton where where she was hampered on the bend. She can give the selection most to do along with Talcen Gwyn who only gave best in the closing stages on a previous visit here a month ago. African Storm has threatened to win a race and is better than his latest effort at Salisbury indicates. Not a bad little nursery than and one in which Bibury Flyer can return to winning ways with ground conditions to suit.
