CLASSIC FLYER won over 5f at Hamilton last week and may be good enough to shrug off a penalty in an unappealing low grade sprint. Tricky Dicky won in heavy going at Redcar in March but has not figured since while Birrafun won at Southwell in the same month and should be sharper for last week’s comeback. Sir Geoffrey does most of his winning at Southwell nowadays though landed an amateurs’ race here last year and Ryedale Rio went close at Carlisle earlier but something went amiss at Musselburgh last time.
