Verdict

MUST HAVEA FLUTTER is a former point-to-pointer who appreciated this trip when exploiting an attractive looking mark on Sunday. The handicapper is likely to hit him hard and it is little surprise to see him turned out so quickly under a penalty. Kincora Fort has not been unduly penalised for a fluent success last time and rates a big danger, whilst Vivaccio and Bad Boy Du Poldu are dropped in class and would have strong claims if back to their best.
