Verdict

A very tight fillies' nursery with precious little to choose between the likes of Irish Eileen, Topkapi Star and Walkonby. Expensive Dirham is mildly progressive and should play a leading role if able to handle the forecast softer conditions, while Nirodha remains unexposed in handicaps after being set a very stiff task (Class 2) at Doncaster a fortnight ago. However, the tentative approach is to chance the Tom Dascombe-trained handicap debutante HIGH FLYING BIRD. She split a Godolphin duo when runner-up at Leicester (7f) in a race which also featured representatives from the stables of Sir Michael Stoute and John Gosden.
  1. High Flying Bird
  2. Expensive Dirham
  3. Topkapi Star
