      Verdict

      Fantasy Fry was a big disappointment here on Tuesday and he's not one to trust, while this is much tougher than the seller Fibs And Flannel won over C&D last month and he'll need to improve on his first start for a new trainer. EZRA CHURCH landed a more competitive selling race at Lingfield in December and given David Barron's charge is already a course winner, he should be good enough to score here if producing his best. The remaining trio are all out of sorts and hard to recommend on that score.
