The final leg of the bumper should go to Miste Flint who has much more experience than most of these, with only Gigs Bounty and Accordion Girl having any experience of the racecourse. Mister Flint has found one too good on each of his three outings so far, and looked all set to collect at Uttoxeter last time until outstayed by Native Ivy in the soft ground. He should be able to utilise a bit more speed here and open his account. Gigs Bounty has not shaped too badly on his two starts to date but does not look anything special, so it would be no surprise if one of the newcomers, notably Lady Of The Isle, was to put in a big run here, without proving good enough to topple the favourite.
