Gaelic Flight gets the vote over Wardash, with Captain Corelli also worth a mention. Gaelic Flight would not want the ground to go any softer, but even so should outclass the opposition based on the evidence soar. The six-year-old absolutely bolted up at Hereford in May despite showing signs of greenness, and then lost no caste in defeat when fourth to the highly rated Chilling Place at Wincanton last month. The runner-up, Racing Demon, gave the form a boost on Friday, and it really is hard to see the Noel Chance inmate failing to defy a penalty here. Ex-German Wardash has not been seen for over three months but is sure to have been schooled well by Martin Pipe, so may represent the main danger. Captain Corelli has been sidelined even longer and is best watched on his return, while the rest make no appeal at all. Gaelic Flight is a confident selection.
