Verdict
A particularly weak seller with very few boasting solid recent form but Flying Faisal is the suggestion to small stakes with Eastern Scarlet the main danger ahead of Pulse and Ynysmon. The selection possibly found seven furlongs too far last time but has otherwise shown a respectable level of ability in slightly better grade this term. Milton Bradley's five-year-old and has a leading chance if reproducing the form of a convincing success in a Folkestone handicap over this trip in April so should give a good account under a useful apprentice. Stable mate Pulse was beaten six lengths behind the selection at Folkestone but is 12lb better off here and can't be discounted while Ynysmon showed a return to form when narrowly denied in a Doncaster claimer last time and should make his mark at this lower level. Eastern Scarlet has struggled since landing a poor sprint maiden at Musselburgh last July but has the services of Kieren Fallon and is well treated on official figures so looks sure to provide stiff competition.
