Stonefield could be a Flyer

STONEFIELD FLYER was just denied at Royal Ascot, but can gain a degree of solace at Haydock.

That effort also suggests a rise to six furlongs, especially at a galloping track like Haydock, would be ideal.Excavator should also be given another chance in the Float Glass Industries Maiden Auction Stakes.Roger Charlton's already-gelded two-year-old showed great potential on his debut at Bath, before being sent off the odds-on favourite at Kempton.Although that form has not worked out too well, it is interesting that Mitie Mouse and the third home, Lupo D'Oro, were considered good enough to contest the Windsor Castle.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.But after having made the running, Excavator could only finish a neck second to Mitie Mouse.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.So much so that Dalgleish threw him in at the deepest of ends in the Windsor Castle Stakes following second-placed finishes behind Lily's Angel and Hamza.

Although that form has not worked out too well, it is interesting that Mitie Mouse and the third home, Lupo D'Oro, were considered good enough to contest the Windsor Castle.
