        Verdict

        This will not take much winning and gives King Flyer, who is far better treated on the sand, a chance to gain compensation for an unlucky run last time. He may have most to fear from Midnight Creek, who is well worth a try at this trip. Murzim, has no easy task for a three-year-old, but he too could be suited by this trip.
