      Verdict

      FLEXIBLE FLYER is up 4lb for a victory over track and trip. That looks the strongest recent form on offer and he can go in again. Welease Bwian failed to cope off a higher mark at Newmarket last time having won here earlier and Head Space makes more appeal off his current handicap mark. Extrasolar has yet to show any improvement for a slide down the weights and Noverre To Go last won back in 2013 when scoring over course and distance. Royal Warrior is another course winner but has shown little in either start so far this year.
