Verdict

Born To Fly is the only course and distance winner and she'll love the fast ground but Skidby Mill very rarely runs away from Polytrack these days. Saskia's Dream appears best on slower ground but PICK A LITTLE has dropped 10lb from this time last season when he was running well and looks the one to be on. Sleet has had 17 career starts - all but two of them on Fibresand at Southwell - but he wasn't beaten far on Tapeta at Wolverhampton last month so today's conditions shouldn't be a concern.
