Verdict

The draw has done long-time favourite Mr Nightlinger no favours while Fleeting Spirit has yet to convince she is back to her very best after a mid-season illness. Diabolical comes into this on the pick of his US form but recent course winner CALIFORNIA FLAG could be the answer providing the early fractions are not suicidal.
