Think this is a much better horse than it appears and he might just be ready to show it.
They are worried about the track for Dolniya and while Flintshire is a high class horse with the best form, he is an 4rse chaser, neither are of interest at the prices. Romsdal needs a stiffer test than hes going to get here and Pethers Moon doesnt seem to be quite at the level he was last season. Sheikzayedroad has had a poor preperation for the race.
I expect Ayrad to be handy off a slowish pace before kicking clear and I expect him to be too tough for Flintshire to pass. This is Ayrads day in the sun.
