Verdict
Rated 95, MYSTIC FLIGHT carries a double penalty but has yet to be seriously challenged in recording victories at Newbury and Haydock. The hat-trick beckons for Roger Varian’s charge with further progress likely. Honey Man has a shout at the weights though has yet to win and was placed yet again when second at Nottingham. The others with racecourse experience have shown little so far and the newcomers will need to be above average to figure with Extra Large, a brother to a winner, Muraahin and Chute Causeway looking best of them.
