In depth

Verdict

This looks to be a penalty kick for Lightning Affair with The Visuliser and Sin City both worthy of consideration. Mark Johnston's two year old comes here on the back a promising second to High Command at Catterick and that form looks by far and away the best on offer here. The Godolphin team have had a well reported quiet spell this season but they did have a new comer winner at Windsor the other day which was backed so this horse is worth noting in the market. Sin City comes from a high profile yard and ran with some promise on his debut but more is needed here. So, for the winner we give Lightning Affair a confident vote.
