        Verdict

        HALIPHON was winning off higher marks last year and has only his second start on the all-weather having placed at Redcar last month. Red Flyer has been in better form over 1m4f lately and stays this far while Croeso Cymraeg has won over track and trip in the distant past. Lucky's Dream has had a recent spin over hurdles though finished in front of True Courage at Newcastle when last on the all-weather.
