Fantastic Flyer steps up a grade in search of the hat-trick and may be found wanting. Roger Varian is struggling to find a race for Gleeful but fellow three-year-old Seraphim could be interesting making her handicap debut and Chica De La Noche is a reliable sort on Polytrack and has already placed twice here. SWEET AND DANDY was knocking on the door here in the spring and, after a few weeks offs, may be ready to strike, though a case can also be made for Agent Of Fortune and Yarmouth second Sonnet Rose.
