VAFORTINO wasn't seen to best effect in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot having met trouble on more than one occasion, so he could be up to reversing the form with Northern Express, who admittedly has a very likeable profile himself. There appeared to be no fluke about Another Investment's wide-margin C&D win 4 weeks ago and he's another to take seriously.
