Verdict
Flying Treaty won well here the other day and there is no reason to suggest he will not follow up from a competitive draw despite the rise in the weights. Admittedly he beat very little yesterday and this is slightly more difficult but he still looks hard to oppose. Arpeggio has fallen to a winable mark but he normally needs a couple of outings to put him right while Inspector General has form on this track and today¿s trip will suit however he still looks a little harshly handicapped. Conversely Windshift looks well handicapped and perhaps this drop in trip will suit. He has place opportunities but the favourite looks difficult to oppose.
