FANTASTIC FLYER is penalised for scoring over course and distance but she won by five lengths and is clearly still improving. Dean Ivory’s filly is preferred to another winner over track and trip in Sfumato while Primeiro Boy won here last month in between modest efforts on Turf. Mitigator drops back down in trip bidding for a hat-trick having won easily over a mile at Yarmouth but Fly True’s earlier double came on the Fibresand at Southwell. Brockey Rise went close over 6f at Thirsk recently but is equally effective over today’s trip and could figure.
