Blinkers worked the oracle for ABOVE IT ALL at Kempton last month and he beat Twilight Revenge by more than three lengths. The headgear remains in place and he can defy a rise in the weights. Major Gatsby missed out on a hat-trick when runner-up at Kempton having won here before that while Dark Flyer was a beaten favourite over track and trip last time and Between The Sheets is helped by an apprentice’s allowance.
