In depth
Verdict
Island Saint made a pleasing debut when a staying-on fifth of 18 in a useful Newbury maiden last month and should know more this time around while B A Highflyer came to the races with a tall reputation when only third in a similar heat at Windsor and is another to consider with the outing under his belt. Carna has claims on earlier form but was below her best last time so Iron Lad, a close second at Newcastle last time, may do best of the rest.
