        Verdict

        Wild Flower never looked like catching the winner when second here a fortnight ago, though she did finish ahead of Gulland Rock. HAWK MOTH (NAP) only gave way in the closing stages when third over track and trip last week and the dual course and distance winner gets the nod in this. Little Indian has won twice on the all-weather this year but is upped 5lb for his latest success at Kempton but Deluxe continues to slide down the weights as he still searches for that elusive first win.
