Euippe can defy a five-pound penalty to beat topweight Sudden Flight and Oops in the opener. James Given's three-year-old clearly appreciated the test of stamina at Haydock six days ago as she kept on really strongly at the end of that mile and six furlong journey. The daughter of Air Express was not stopping at the finish and will benefit even more from this further step up in trip. She should comfortably shrug off a penalty and can account for Sudden Flight who has to concede a stone and a half. The David Evans inmate has hinted at a return to form of late though and should soon pick up a staying event off his current mark. Oops made the most of a light weight when coming good at Beverley but has more to do here, while any money for Blackthorn would be encouraging. For the winner we return to Euippe.
