FLYING JIB : Progressive three year old filly, Winning 3 from 5 starts ,including listed & group three contest .Won the G3 Canford Cliff Atashi Stakes at Curragh in May beating Peace Burg .Well beaten in G1 Belmont Oaks last time in America ,drop in class will suit ,though faces no easy task under 5LB group three penalty.

VERDICT : This looks high quality listed contest featuring three decent sorts .Brendan Brackan is solid performer in group company and has obvious claims dropping into listed company, though at around 2-1 looks short enough in the market.

The lightly raced PRINCE OF ALL can return to winning ways in Platinum listed stakes  , was impressive winner in this grade in Patton listed Stakes at Dundalk in April ,beating Magnolia Beach & Due Diligence,that looks strong form with Magnolia Beach & Due Diligence both franking the form next time .Odds around 3-1 look very fair value .
