Phantom Flight looks ready to land for Horton

GOLDEN GATE HANDICAP (5.35)

PHANTOM FLIGHT has the profile to give trainer James Horton (left) a breakthrough win in his first season with a licence.

After a promising debut second at Newcastle in March, the Siyouni colt has gone one better in one-mile novice stakes at Redcar and Haydock.

Both his run style and pedigree are portents of another step forward now that Phantom Flight tackles 10 furlongs, so a British Horseracing Authority mark of 95 looks within range.

Improving three-year-olds Missed The Cut, Falling Shadow and Chairman all warrant a second look.

QUEEN ALEXANDRA STAKES (6.10)

FALCON EIGHT, whose younger brother Kyprios lifted Thursday’s Gold Cup, gets the vote to complete a family double.

Dermot Weld’s 2021 Chester Cup hero ran a sterling fifth in defence of his crown on the Roodee last month and Tom Marquand’s partner should be right at home over this marathon distance.

With Trueshan needing a downpour to take part, Wordsworth rates a major threat, along with last year’s winner Stratum.
