Verdict
ARABIAN FLIGHT has been threatening to get his head in front of late and Simon Walker's presence in the saddle suggests he can land one of these events. Flag Of Glory scored here last month though it was back to normal when he well beaten last time and it's a similar story with Edgware Road, who finished second here in between a couple of woeful efforts. Bertie Blu Boy has a chance on his best form and Serena Brotherton has won on Kyle Of Bute before.
