    Verdict

    The progressive Blue Flight was impressive at Ascot last month but was earlier outstayed by MY OLD GOLD over this longer trip at Wetherby and is 3lb worse off so may struggle to turn the tables. Tanarpino has his ground and was in good form last summer but a lengthy absence won’t aid his cause. Petiville is probably in need of a confidence-booster.
