Verdict

FAIRLAWN FLYER might have been a fortunate winner at Ffos Las 6 weeks ago, but that improved performance is backed up by the timefigure so a 1 lb rise may well be on the lenient side. In Rem and Lyrical Genius are also on the upgrade and look the obvious threats.

  1. FAIRLAWN FLYER
  2. IN REM (FR)
  3. LYRICAL GENIUS (IRE)
