    Verdict

    AZURE FLY made the early running in a Grade 3 at Cheltenham last month before being eventually pulled. He'll appreciate the return to novice company and there is nothing wrong with his earlier form. He should get an easy lead in this and makes more appeal than Sin Bin, who is looking an increasingly tricky ride. Blinkers replace the latter's usually cheekpieces today, however, and he only weakened at the last in a decent contest at Newbury three weeks ago. Silver Commander could figure if fully wound-up after a short break but it's hard to have much faith in Up For An Oscar at present.
