Verdict
In the finale, Flylowflylong is suggested ahead of Glenbuck and Hotchpotch. A good run from today's mark last time sees Flylowflylong come into this race in good heart and he has to be considered. Glenbuck is closely weighted with him based on recent Haydock form. First-time headgear will need to bring improvement for Elegant Times. Hotchpotch could be interesting based on his Folkestone maiden win as he steps into handicap company, while headgear is also going to have to help Honor Me if he is to get competitive here. The others, for us, have something to prove in terms of being recommended which, in turn, brings us back to the selection, Flylowflylong.
