In depth
Verdict
A runner-up on his last four outings, Fly The Nest looks worth taking on with PERFECT SYMPHONY. The latter has been thereabouts in a couple of outings since scoring over today’s trip at Lingfield in January and Adam Kirby’s presence is another positive. Under Curfew scored over the minimum trip at Lingfield in February and is 5lb higher while Glamorous Crescent found one too good over 7f here the last twice. Derry Boy also drops down in trip having tumbled down the weights last year.
