Verdict
A runner-up over track and trip last month, FABULOUS FLYER has an apprentice’s 5lb claim helping his cause today. He can go one better confirming latest running with Red Flute, Willow Spring and a tailed-off Give Us A Belle in the process. Ask The Guru is back on a winning mark and so is Roy's Legacy while Frank The Barber went close here on his penultimate start. The Wee Chief has not raced since July but has only won over 6f so far while Deer Song’s recent placed effort came in a maiden.
