It has been faultless, I believe.The only question is that has never run over a mile before, but I dont think its really a flaw.Given his physical make-up and how he has developed and how he performed on the Rowley Mile last year, there is every reason to believe everything will be fine.Clearly there has to be some form of concern as he has never done it before, but his training and physique suggests that it should be fine. Until he comes here and does it we wont know for definite.While it is all systems go for Air Force Blue, trainer Hugo Palmer said on Monday that Galileo Gold will only take his place in the line-up should the ground be good or softer.After winning the Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last year, the Paco Boy colt ended the campaign finishing third in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp in October.Although not seen out so far this year, the Al Shaqab Racing-owned three-year-old posted an impressive piece of work in a racecourse gallop at the track before racing at the Craven meeting earlier this month.The Newmarket handler said: I had a long chat with Frankie Dettori before the weekend about which direction to go.There are 15 days between the two races (English and French 2000 Guineas).
