Verdict
Scientist should score here tonight with Flying Bantam and Midnight Ballard providing the most plausible opposition. Scientist was unquestionably disappointing on his latest start at Newmarket but the fact that the punters were prepared to put him in as favourite should tell us something with regard to the esteem he is held in. Fallon is booked and the pair will no doubt be patronised by the Yorkshire punters. Flying Bantam is named after the Bradford City Football Team. He showed some ability last term although he will need to produce more on this occasion. Scientist gets the verdict.
