VALE OF FLIGHT carries a penalty for beating Frank The Barber just under two lengths at Chelmsford but the latter looked far from straightforward that day and Rae Guest's improving filly can confirm the form and complete her hat-trick. Pushkin Museum is one of five previous course and distance winners and is Richard Fahey's only runner on the card so warrants respect while Ask The Guru is well handicapped on his best form, though hasn't run very well on his last two starts on Polytrack.
