      Verdict

      Bob's Flyer is the pick to beat Hymn Of Victory, with Procrastinate best of the rest on the evidence so far. Bob's Flyer has already shown enough to suggest that he will open her account before the end of the year, and can be fancied to step up on her second to stablemate Folga over the course and distance just two days ago. Trainer James Given obviously reckons that she is up to turning out again so quickly, and if she is in the same frame of mind as at the weekend, success is just around the corner. Her main rival is Hymn Of Victory who has a bit of experience and who will perhaps be better back over the minimum trip today. Procrastinate is already starting to look fully exposed, having had nine outings, and has been dropped to selling company recently. That tells us a lot about his limitations and it is hard to see him beating Bob's Flyer here.
