FLYING FANTASY (NAP) returned to action with a close-up third at Chelmsford last month. The runner-up Three Grazes has subsequently landed a double so the form looks solid and William Haggas' charge can open his account in this. Cape Xenia finished ahead of both Molten Lava and Vincenzo Coccotti when placed at Kempton and can also figure along with dual Polytrack winner Le Rouquin. Golden Wedding gave the impression this longer trip will suit when fourth at Beverley and looks best of the rest.
