        In depth

        Verdict

        Not the strongest of classified events and Fantasy Crusader is the obvious choice and he can beat King Flyer and King of Knight. The selection has won three races over shorter distances this season, including a victory over the mile trip here last time. The longer trip shouldn't be a problem as he has put up decent performances over this trip in the past. King Flyer finished just behind today's rival King Of Knight over course and distance last time. There should be very little between them again here today, but King Flyer may just come out best in that battle. Stormy Day is from a top yard and has taken on decent maidens on the turf, so should be monitored closely in the betting for his all-weather debut, however Fantasy Crusader has the best overall form and is given the nod.
