TIDES OF WAR (1) was safely held when second last time out over 3200m at Goodwood, beaten 5.5 lengths. That followed a win at Lingfield All Weather at the previous outing. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. CURRAN (5) is coming off a determined win last start over 2920m at Doncaster two weeks ago. Down in the weights this time so he is a leading contender again. RED FLYER (3) finished sixth over 3200m at Lingfield All Weather at his most recent appearance on April 18. Looks a strong top-three prospect. SHARP DISTINCTION (6) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 2400m at Lingfield All Weather, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in sixth. In the mix.
