Verdict
REAL FORCE can take this as he looked very progressive in the summer and, though beaten three lengths, was by no means disgraced against an odds-on chance at Saint-Cloud on heavy ground last. Flight Risk hasn’t been in the kind of form that saw him win three times last year, including a Group 3, and he has done better on quicker ground. Eldama’s one victory came over a mile and she was outpaced over 7f at Leopardstown before staying on. But she had Wonder Elzaam behind and should go well as should Flaming Moon, who ran a fine race in the Cambridgeshire here on Sunday.
