OPERA FLUTE appeared not to last home over 7f here last week. He'd finished a decent second to Fillionaire, who has subsequently been placed in Listed company, over today's trip previously and looks the one to beat on that form. Glen Ellyn and Titus Bolt have shown little to recommend them so far and the newcomer Vivid Blue makes more appeal. She's a half-sister to three winners including a Grade 2 winner in America and is preferred to fellow debutant Muaamara.
