Verdict

The former Michael Bell-trained Fils Anges has a very good record around here having finished runner-up in two tough handicaps after landing a minor event a year ago. He hasn't run since February so the race-fit FLASH FIRE (NAP) looks the one to be on. Transferred from Mark Johnston, he scored at Sandown for Charlie Appleby and made a very bright start here a fortnight ago when just failing to hold off Forries Waltz over a mile. Boomshackerlacker was staying on in that latter event and would prefer a longer trip. Majestic Mount, a Listed winner in France, also ran well on his debut here when staying on nicely and looks well enough treated. He had Anaerobio just behind that day and should take care of Mike De Kock's charge again though Eastern Rules was in front of the pair of them and Michael Halford's seven-times winner was out of his grade in a Group 2 last week.
