Verdict

GEE FORCE FLYER's third in the EBF Final at Sandown is a notably strong piece of form and he should take a bit of stopping back in a maiden, particularly as chief form rivals Off The Jury and Newbrook Diamond need to bounce back from lesser efforts last time. Adrian Keatley's Irish point recruit Expensive Emotion would also enter calculations if the betting speaks in her favour.

7	Disappointed with tongue tie fitted on the back of a breathing operation (had another one since) when pulled up in a 3m Haydock handicap in February. The tongue tie is quickly discarded now and he'll have a big say if back to form he showed in maiden/novice hurdles on first 3 outings for this yard. 2nd Pick 7 Off The Jury (Ire) Jockey: James Bowen Trainer: Mickey Bowen J: James Bowen T: Mickey Bowen	94	-	-	-	25%	3/1

6	Fairly useful form when placed 4 times over hurdles but found little in first-time blinkers (retained) when only seventh of 25 at Fairyhouse (16.5f) over Easter. Steps back up in trip now. 3rd Pick 6 Newbrook Diamond (Ire) Jockey: Harry Cobden Trainer: Gordon Elliott, Ireland J: Harry Cobden T: Gordon Elliott, Ireland	93	-	-	-	15%	6/1
