In depth
Verdict
Sudden Flight makes a quick reappearance after landing a small race at Chester, but may find this a bit harder, we think it may rest between Belle Rouge and Tungsten Strike, with the latter just getting the nod.Tungsten Strike is trained by Amanda Perrett who has been slow to hit form this season, but now she has found the key to success her horses should be followed. The selection could hardly have won with more authority at Kempton last time, coming clear inside the final quarter-mile to win as he pleased. Beaten over 50 lengths in his previous three outings, he appreciated the greater stamina test and will have no problems with today's two mile trip. Successful at Folkestone in April, Belle Rouge comes here following a three month holiday and should go well under Frankie Dettori. There are many question marks about the others, apart from Sudden Flight, who didn't beat much in that Chester event last week, but did it easily. He may not win today's event but he should be there at the death, the winner we belive will be Tungsten Strike.
