Verdict

Newmarket raiders could dominate this. Kiteflyer followed up a pleasing debut when third in the Wood Ditton when cantering home by four lengths at Chepstow, albeit in a modest maiden, and looks a really useful prospect. But the four-year-old SHINING BLUE started at short odds on on his very belated debut when cruising to victory at Leicester and Stefano Cherchi's claim reduces his welter burden. Field Of Honour and Time Quest may be best of the rest.
