In depth
Verdict
Phantom Flame, Levantine and Indian Warrior are among the more likely winners and we will stick with the first named. Mark Johnston's charge has been very disappointing overall but showed some signs of a return to form when finishing second at the track to Prince Prospect. Levantine is exposed at selling grade but hails from a shrewd yard. It's hard to believe that he was racing under the Godolphin banner a few years ago in the Emirates so at least he should be at home on the sand. Indian Warrior is a previous winner in the grade over course and distance and does hail from a yard in form. Potsdam was here in better grade last week and showed enough to suggest he could be placed at this level. Printsmith has it all to do at these terms. We will suggest a tentative bet on Phantom Flame with Indian Warrior as the alternative.
