In depth
Verdict
Another moderate contest in which most of these would be more at home in selling company. Flash Gordon, who has been difficult to train, is a free going sort, who may struggle to see this trip out, while Aircon is another who has to prove he stays this far. One who will have no problems with the ground or trip is Sir Cumference, who finally got his act together at Ludlow last week. He has been found the ideal opportunity to follow up and he should make no mistake . Best of the rest are Commanche Hero, who stays well, albeit in his own time and bumper winner Twice As Good, who may be capable of some improvement now that he tackles a faster surface for the first time.
