The top two in the weights could fight out the finish of this. Stealth Fighter got back to winning ways in game fashion at Windsor but all three victories have come on fast ground. VICTORY CHIME was taking on stronger opposition at Newmarket after winning at Sandown and could offer more value. Mr Scaramanga won over track and trip last month and wasn’t disgraced off this mark at Goodwood so makes more appeal the Pactolus and the three-year-old Light Up Our Stars.
