The step up to seven furlongs should suit Lightsabre, judging by his pedigree. But he does not look the most straightforward of characters and he was a beaten horse too far from home at Wolverhampton on Monday to be recommending as a serious selection today. Whereas Fulvio has failed to see the trip out on a number of occasions and may be better over a furlong shorter. Essequibo, on the other hand, is developing nicely and will be interesting if his connections think that he will handle the surface. However, Coppington Flyer appeals as the selection today on the grounds of her consistency. She has no problems in coping with a fast run seven furlongs and deserves to have more than her solitary course and distance win to her name. Frankie McDonald takes a useful 5lb off her back and she can regain the winning thread today. Melody Master is a big threat to all but his task is made a lot harder by a 6lb extra burden.
