In depth
Verdict
Perfect Flight, Corrybrough and Fol Hollow are the three to look at in a trappy contest, with Henry Candy's lightly raced Corrybrough taken to come out on top. Perfect Flight has only one win to her credit but ran consistently last season, finishing off with a close second in a big field in a Newbury nursery. Only a few pounds higher here it would be no surprise to see her go well. Fol Hollow finished off last season with three wins in four races, and opened up this campaign with a good third in a hot Newmarket handicap. He goes off the same mark here and will be thereabouts. Corrybrough is a son of Kyllachy and a half brother to two multiple winners, and he shaped very well as a juvenile, following up a good second in a Haydock maiden, by coming right away at Windsor next time with the runner up franking the form since. Corrybrough can take this en route to better things.
