Verdict

WINDS OF FIRE has only won a couple of small-field affairs, but impressed with how he battled on at Salisbury last time, and the handicapper may have underestimated him. Darksideoftarnside was better than the result under an overly-aggressive ride at Ascot, and is feared, with Surya another capable of bouncing back from a sub-par effort at York.
