        Verdict

        Flying Key has the proven nursery form and is taken to make it back to back victories, Rubenstar and Indian Wizard are put forward as the main rivals. James Bethell's filly gained a deserved success at Chester last time, having been placed in two good quality nurseries previously. she appears to be still progressing and may have too many guns for these opponents. Rubenstar is taking on handicap company for the first time and doesn't look too badly treated. He wasn't beaten far in Brighton maiden last time and represents decent each-way value here. Indian Wizard looks the pick of the Mick Channon duo, having shown bits and pieces of form throughout the season. The pick of the others could be Dancing Flame, but Flying Key is the horse in form and she gets the decision.
