In depth
Verdict
B A Highflyer has been frustrating to follow all season but is given one last chance here to reward his supporters, with Wainwright, Queen of Night and Pantandon Girl the others on the shortlist. The selection is from the in-form Mick Channon yard and has dropped to a handy mark after a series of disappointing efforts. He is not ideally drawn here and was disappointing on Monday behind Full Spate at Windsor, but is more than capable of making amends. Wainwright could represent the main danger although he was slightly disappointing last time. Queen of Night is nicely drawn and ran well behind Tychy last time so has got definite claims. Pantandon Girl is also from the Mick Channon yard and looks to have solid each way claims, but might find a couple too good. A tricky race to round off the card at Southwell, but we will take a chance on the frustrating B A Highflyer to finally repay his loyal supporters.
