STONEFIELD Flyer was just denied at Royal Ascot, but can gain a degree of solace at Haydock.
A solid five-runner ensemble has been lured to the table for the Bohle British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes, but Stonefield Flyer has a little less weight than three of his rivals on Merseyside and is undeniably the stand-out entry.Trained in South Lanarkshire by Keith Dalgleish, the Kheleyf colt has already been an outstanding servant for the rookie handler.HOPE Roger CharltonExcavator should also be given another chance in the Float Glass Industries Maiden Auction Stakes.Roger Charlton's alreadygelded two-year-old showed great potential on his debut at Bath before being sent off the odds-on favourite at Kempton. But, after having made the running, Excavator could only finish a neck second to Mitie Mouse.He is already a winner at a higher level than this, when successful in a six-furlong heritage handicap last June, and unsurprisingly has bags of toe for a son of Firebreak.So much so that Dalgleish threw him in at the deepest of ends in the Windsor Castle Stakes following secondplaced finishes behind Lily's Angel and Hamza.Fireback, meanwhile, can capitalise on a pleasing display at Epsom last time when he returns to Surrey for the Try totequickpick On All totepool Bets Handicap.Even in concession of weight all round, Excavator should be much wiser and sharper for his Kempton experience.CAPTION(S):Always close to the pace, he ran superbly for a long way at Ascot before eventually succumbing to Frederick Engels, who looks a certain Pattern-race performer.Suitably revved up following a pipe-opener at Newmarket in May, Fireback impressed over this course and distance three weeks ago with a staying-on third behind Tajneed and Swiss Cross.
HOPE Roger Charlton
