FLYING HONOURS is the standout on form, failing to land the odds in the Royal Lodge here 2 weeks ago but not beaten far in a race that developed into a 2f sprint, and the son of Sea The Stars is taken to make amends with the emphasis more on stamina. Dear My Friend's French form reads well so is next best for a yard that has won this 5 times, while the progressive Metal Merchant makes each-way appeal at bigger odds.
