Verdict
Flash City would be the one at his best but hasn't sparkled for a while and is now down to his lowest official rating since the summer of 2014. Horsforth and Krystallite both arrive on the back of a success on an artificial surface and seem at their best on the all-weather on current evidence but HORSFORTH has proved his worth on Turf regularly in the past so rates the safest option, especially with young William Cox claiming a valuable 7lb. Roaring Rory came home well in a similar contest last time but the main danger could well prove to be Eternalist. She's only had six starts in three seasons and shaped pleasingly in mid-April behind the speedy Carlton Frankie after a four-month absence and should have plenty more to offer over the minimum trip off her current mark.
