A tough handicap this for punters to call with the leading lights expected to be Drumming Party, Harrison's Flyer and Whitbarrow and the vote is given to Harrison's Flyer. The selection is on a handy mark at present and he ran with great credit last time when finishing a close third behind Drumming Party. He is weighted to get the better of that rival who has a penalty for that success and for that reason we will favour Harrison's Flyer. Whitbarrow is a course and distance winner and he is another that is dangerously well-handicapped. He ran well last time when second behind Heavens Walk at Lingfield and if he reproduces that effort today he should be capable of making the frame. Endless Summer has been running consistently well and with the useful James Doyle again taking off a handy 5lbs he has to be respected. This is a competitive contest and for the winner we will return to Harrison's Flyer.
