      Verdict

      Only 3lb separates the five runners on official ratings and with the older horses giving the three-year-olds plenty of weight at this stage of the season SLEEPING BRAVE can take advantage. Placed over 7f on the Polytrack the last twice, Jim Boyle's charge looks ready for this step up in trip and gets the vote ahead of recent Wolverhampton winner Lilli Palmer. Flinty showed modest progress last year and may do better this season, but Polly Holder's improved efforts of late have been recorded over longer trips. Fight Or Flight is hard to fancy on what she's shown so far.
