Verdict

FAIRY FLUTE makes plenty appeal here on third start after joining Gordon Elliott. She's twice run well over the mile and assuming her stamina holds, can once more illustrate the trainer's canny ability to improve a horse. Set To Fire ran a fair race off his increased mark at Killarney and should be involved in the finish while Shamar ran a much better race last time at Ayr and is worth noting in the betting. Forcefull would have claims if able to fin form, but that is far from assured.
