Verdict
CAFE SYDNEY is back on a winning mark and has been threatening to get her head back in front with recent placed efforts at Wolverhampton. She can confirm latest running with Villanelle and come out best. Percy's Prince was still beaten a long way when third at Kempton and his only win in 21 starts came over 2m while Affair is another at her best over longer trips. Hi There Silver finished just in front of Light Of Air when third here last month though both quickly reverted to their more usual poor form last time.
