Verdict

Most of these are pretty exposed, but that is not the case with the twice-raced THE MOYGLASS FLYER, who shaped best on his handicap debut after a break last time, and should benefit from both the run and the fitting of a tongue tie. Thatsy is equally unexposed and appeals as the main danger despite dropping in trip. Yaha Fizz likely to go off at much bigger odds, but has been given a chance by the handicapper after an absence, and could surprise.
  1. The Moyglass Flyer
  2. Thatsy
  3. Yaha Fizz
