MASTER BOND was a convincing winner at Hamilton at the start of the month and with a high draw on this occasion, we are confident that David O'Meara's five-year-old can overcome a small rise in the weights. Tyfos has plenty of early pace and should set some stiff fractions for the other to follow whilst Rusty Rocket and Cruise Tothelimit are respected as previous course and distance winners. Flash City is yet to win a race on Turf in 24 previous starts but he came agonisingly close at Doncaster last week and he will take his chance off the same mark this afternoon. Perfect Blossom pinched a similar event at Musselburgh at a big price though she has appeared in the handicapper's grip ever since. Rich Again ran creditably here over six furlongs in spite of fluffing the start, and James Bethell's charge appears attractively handicapped at present.
