    Verdict

    Pigeon Flight has a solid chance to get off the mark at the third time of asking, Longhill Tiger and Wassendale can make a fist of it, while Lady Althea already has improvement to find and looks the only one in the line up that is likely to struggle. Wassendale - a half-sister to Frank Sonata - made a promising debut at Kempton in January but was then a bit below par at Lingfield a month later. She needs to get her act together quickly but her connections will no doubt be looking at a handicap career after this. Longhill Tiger - off a rating of 75 - sets the standard as far as the form book goes and will get every assistance with Eddie Ahern doing the steering. However, that still may not be good enough to repel Pigeon Flight, who dropped a significant hint that he is capable of paying his way by running on strongly when he was last seen out. being by Compton Admiral, it is safe to assume this faster surface will not be a hindrance and this almost looks too straightforward a task for Michael Bell's charge.
