Verdict
Bibury Flyer has taken well to handicapping and can land her second race of the season at the expense of Tara's Treasure and Space Shuttle. Mick Channon's filly was successful at Doncaster last month before finding Easy Feeling two and a half lengths superior at Goodwood. That may have been a tough task trying to give that winner five pounds and today's event does seem to be slightly easier. Tara's Treasure has been knocking on the door all season and doesn't look harshly treated for her first venture into handicap company. Space Shuttle had made all when winning a maiden auction at Doncaster over this trip but was never able to get to the front when running a close up third behind Transaction at Newmarket last time. If he can steal a lead today he may prove difficult to pass. Of the others Windy Prospect hails from an in form yard and warrants respect, but Bibury Flyer appears to be thriving on her racing and gets the vote.
