        Verdict

        West Coast Flyer beat Sarsted when scoring over 1m3f at Kempton last month but disappointed over today’s trip at Haydock before that. Testing ground may have been an excuse on that occasion but preference is still for TENZING NORGAY as Sir Mark Prescott’s charge was ahead of Street Artist when scoring over a slightly shorter trip here last time and can go close again raised only 3lb. Bellajeu won her maiden here last year but has had just the one start this season when third at Newmarket while Graceland is usually in the mix without being quite good enough.
