Verdict
There looks to be a few with chances in an open bumper though the four-year-old RETURN FLIGHT is taken to go one better after a very good second to Shantou Village on his debut under Rules at Wetherby. Down The Line, who had a previous run behind him, was around six lengths back in third and looks held but Far From Defeat came up against a smart recruit in Ballywilliam at Chepstow and looks a real threat here, especially as he had the remainder a long way behind. Octagon ran in a strong Newbury bumper last month and performed with credit while High Hopper can prove best of the newcomers.
