Busy Flight seemed not quite to get home last time out over two miles when the revs suddenly dipped inside the final furlong of the two-mile Sagaro Stakes.

But dropped back two furlongs in trip, the Barry Hills-trained five-year-old rates great material to land the nap in today's £110,000 Merwood Group Yorkshire Cup on the Knavesmire.

Closely related to the stable's grand old stayer Further Flight, Busy Flight looked last year as if he would appreciate a step up in distance having done all his best work late on when campaigned solely over a mile and half.

But having come cantering to challenge Persian Punch with a furlong to travel at Newmarket, he had to give best close home, going down by half a length.

That rival re-opposes here but may appreciate a slightly longer trip and if Persian Punch is forced into making his own running in this small field, Busy Flight can pick him - and his other rivals - off close home.

Punters can home in with confidence on Capri in the £18,000-added the Michael Seely Memorial Glasgow Conditions Stakes. Henry Cecil's colt has created a favourable impression this year, winning a Newmarket maiden by seven lengths and then returning to the same course to beat Sea Wave by nine lengths.
