Good Omen (15/8), Another Eclipse (11/4), First Flight (7/2), Brorocco (4/1), Law And Order (11/2), Great Hall (10/1), Petite Jack (20/1), Basil Berry (33/1)

Verdict

FIRST FLIGHT made an encouraging and perhaps unexpected return to action last month when proving too good for all bar Kapstadt over this trip on the Newmarket July course. That run highlighted that all of his old ability and zest for racing (ex Godolphin) seems to remain intact, and he ought to be tough to beat here assuming that he doesn't 'bounce'. Great Hall is probably best placed to pick up the pieces should such a scenario occur.
