SONNYTHENAVIGATOR won by only a neck at Lingfield when stepped up to today's trip. But there should be more to come from David Simcock's charge over today's distance and the hat-trick beckons in this modest company. A winner over hurdles, Epsom Flyer has yet to score on the Flat and the same comments apply to Galuppi. Boston Blue scored over track and trip back in 2013 but has won just the once since then and was behind runner-up Annakrista over 1m5f at Lingfield recently.
