Verdict
STAR IN FLIGHT is starting to look well handicapped and may be capable of defying top weight in this if he doesn't decide to take on the free-running Argaum for the lead. Mr Supreme is probably fairly treated but the market will be the best guide to his chances after a lay-off. Dom Lukka's two wins came over fences in the French provinces but Dizzy River wouldn't be without a chance and he's preferred to another C&D winner Scriptwriter and Banyan Tree, who had an alternative engagement at Southwell yesterday.
