He has a 153-day break to defy but Broughtons Flare was in the best form he had shown for a while at Kempton at the start of the year. The consistent Atletico has solid place claims again given he never usually runs a bad race, and the booking of Hollie Doyle is another positive. Afro Blue is not one to give up on yet. He is still lightly raced and showed slight encouragement on his handicap debut without threatening. The drop in trip to 7f & ease in class could see some improvement. However, in a race lacking strength in depth this can go to GAVI DI GAVI who has just kept improving since switched to handicaps and can defy a 6lb rise for his latest success.
