Pandar is very in and out but there's no doubt he would go close on his victory at Goodwood and close second at Chester if anywhere near that kind of form. Fitz Flyer landed a similar race over track and trip a month ago and found the minimum trip too short in a seller on Monday while Ortac Rock usually goes well at this level and should now be at his peak after just three runs this campaign. Realize landed a handicap here last month and was raised 5lb which was enough to prevent a follow-up a few days later. He should prove up to this grade and can reach the frame without getting the better of SEARCHLIGHT (NAP). Kevin Ryan's charge landed two minor handicaps at Bath and has raced in very much better company subsequently so should get back to winning ways. Stonefield Flyer gained his second victory at Kempton on Tuesday for which he was well supported so must be considered a live threat.
