In depth

Verdict

FLYING WEST has the form in the book with a debut success over a mile at Lingfield. She should go well again but is penalised and several of these may also improve for today’s longer trip. That includes the Gosden filly Paradise On Earth and Kempton third Lady Sansa though Top Drop and Storming Jibreel have more to find. Naizagai is fitted with headgear after a poor reappearance at Yarmouth but the newcomer Daafy is related to several winners.
