Norfolk Stakes (Group 2)

Bolted up in a novice at Wolverhampton last time by three lengths, but that form needs boosting further as this is a significant step up in class; bred for speed and effective at today's trip, but ranked 18th of 21 on our figures, making this a tough ask from stall 1.

Winless in recent starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Blake's Monarch looks out of its depth stepping up in class here, despite showing fair form on turf debut at Chester 21 days ago and proven effectiveness at the trip on good ground.

Carry The Flag arrives here on the back of a fine Group 3 second at The Curragh, beaten just a length and a quarter while stepping up in class and showing sharp early pace; a big, strong type with a top jockey aboard, the five furlongs here may actually bring out the best in this high-class prospect.

Showed improved form when taking a maiden at Redcar last time, but that win came with caveats and this represents a sharp step up in grade for a recent purchase. Drawn 8, handles today's trip and conditions, yet ranks 16th of 21 on our figures — hard to get excited.

Burst clear by three-and-a-quarter lengths on debut at Bath, Flight Signal looks a promising type who acts on this going and trip, though stepping up sharply in class from a novice on just one start is the obvious query at a mark of 129lb from stall 6.
