Verdict

Barye was a well beaten second in better company last time and remains 9lb higher than when landing a double over course and distance before that. Lawmans Thunder is preferred stepping up to 1m2f for the first time but FLAG WAR (NAP) may come out best. The Godolphin charge beat Angelic Upstart in this grade at Wolverhampton before meeting trouble in-running at Lingfield last time and can return to winning ways. Masterpaver is better over further while both Ravenous and Yul Finegold step up in class.
