Low-mileage 7-y-o SAIL AWAY shaped as though all his ability remains firmly intact when runner-up back from a 10-month absence at Chepstow. Moving back up in trip here looks a good move and he could be the answer. It wasn't a particularly strong Grade 2 novice that City Chief won at Wetherby but he is greatly respected nonetheless. Oscar Elite is also feared on the back of his creditable effort in the Ultima and Irish-raider Temptationinmilan shoud have a part to play, too.
