Verdict
SLIP SLIDING AWAY was only beaten a head in a tight finish at Goodwood and a repeat effort may well be good enough to come out best in this company. Powerful Wind has won a lower grade sprint at Chepstow this season but was due to run yesterday at Sandown. Waseem Faris will be helped by Gary Mahon's allowance after going close at Lingfield recently with Flashy Queen well beaten and Desert Command may prove best of the rest off his current mark.
