      Verdict

      Baytown Flyer looks to have been found a good opportunity to bring up a straight hat-trick of wins and, accordingly, gets the vote. The Phil McEntee-trained filly has actually won five races since April 15, which is a quite remarkable achievement. The question is, when will the bubble burst? If it is to be today then Alistair Smellie could be the one to take advantage as he has only a length-and-a-half to find on recent Wolverhampton form with the selection. Sotonian has been knocking at the door over course and distance recently and should run his race, but Onefortheboys has been largely out-of-form of late. Overall, then, with Frankie Dettori booked, Baytown Flyer gets the call.
