A tricky finale to conclude with in which we will give the tentative vote to Nusoor with both Equuleus Pictor and Harrison¿s Flyer worth noting. The selection has caught the eye after showing some solid form at Yarmouth recently when finishing second to Gleaming Spirit. He got the ball rolling when winning at Lingfield last month and has since run well in defeat. If reproducing his best he ought to take some beating. Equuleus Pictor ran well at Newbury last time out when second to Kelamon for which he now carries three pounds more. John Spearing has certainly got his small team of flat horses in good spirit so therefore he is worth noting in the market. As is Harrison¿s Flyer who comes from the Milton Bradley yard who have had a year to forget winners wise. That said Harrison¿s Flyer looked to be coming back to form when second at Leicester last week so any market support should be noted. But for the winner we return to Nusoor.
