Blitz beat Secretfact a length at Bath recently and the latter also finished behind JASHMA at the same track earlier. Richard Hughes’ charge has been keeping better company than this at Newmarket and Sandown lately and a repeat of last month’s second at Newmarket may well see him return to winning ways. Red Stripes also drops down a grade for this but Cent Flying has looked high enough in the weights since scoring at Chepstow on his reappearance.
