The presence of Wyatt Earp could mean that some value may exist in his stable companion Flying Bantam, who if forgiven for his latest effort which was run in atrocious conditions, he would have to come into the equation. A winner at Ayr on his penultimate start, most of the seven year olds winning has been done at seven furlongs but he does have plenty of early dash when should mean he can lie up early doors. Wyatt Earp scored his first victory in over twelve months last time after dropping to what appeared a lenient mark based on previous form. A strongly run seven furlongs is what he relishes as he likes to come off a fast pace which seems assured with his stable companion in the race. Grazeon Gold Blend overcame a poor pitch at Hamilton last time to beat an ordinary field. Cha Cha Cha is plenty high enough in the weights while the same can be said of Dressed To Dance. Signor Peltro although carrying top-weight is not handicapped out of it and would have a big chance on picks of his form but Flying Bantam is the selection.
