      Verdict

      Day Flight gets the confident vote here with Foreign Affairs and Group Captain rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Marahel when last seen on ground faster than ideal. This looks easier and under conditions that suit he is hard to beat. Foreign Affairs rates the main danger on his latest second behind Kastoria but he tends to need his first run of the season and is taken on with this in mind. Group Therapy was third in a French Group 3 when last seen but his best form is in big fields and he is also taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder, Peppertree Lane is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has a littler to find on official BHB figures and for the winner we return to Day Flight.
