Smith beat Tin Fandango over 2m at Lingfield back in May and the latter also finished behind Flying Standard when Chris Wall’s charge scored over track and trip last month. Blazon is back on a winning mark and posted a better effort last time while Psyche steps up in trip. But STILETTO (NAP) ran well for fourth in a higher grade contest over course and distance earlier this month and may prove the one to side with off his current mark.
