Fly Camp made all at Exeter and looks a progressive type, though the handicapper has put him up 5lb for that. Midnight Sapphire was in very good form in the autumn but has had a few months off and she may be a few pounds too high at present. Shaama Grise has gone up another 4lb since beaten by Graceful Legend at Exeter but she’s been placed in all three starts since arriving from France. Billy Bronco easily landed the odds at Ayr and looks capable of better, though would probably need a strong pace over this trip. KAYF ADVENTURE (NAP) could be thrown in on a mark of 123 on his third to Neon Wolf at Exeter. He never gave supporters a moment’s worry at Fontwell next time and he’s very unexposed.
