In depth
Verdict
Fleeting Visit should go well over this longer trip having finished third over 7f at Sandown while Knight Commander made the frame at Salisbury on his debut, though was well beaten at Ascot last time. But both have to give weight to MIRSAALAH in this and the latter may take advantage facing an easier task than when fifth at Newmarket on last month's introduction. The newcomer Wynford is related to three winners and worth noting in the betting.
