Verdict

Flash Fire will need to improve on a modest reappearance but is capable of doing so. Properus is eased in class after failing to justify favouritism at Newmarket but Easy Tiger steps up a couple of grades after getting back to winning ways at Goodwood. Miracle Ninetynine keeps finding one too good and is now tried in blinkers but may struggle to get the better of USE YOUR FILBERT. Robert Cowell's colt came up against the classy Scalzo on his reappearance and was only beaten a neck over this trip at Newmarket next time, though a 4lb rise seems harsh. Harbour Patrol may be best of the rest.
