Verdict

Olympic Runner won her only previous start on Polytrack at Lingfield a year ago and has scored on Turf at Yarmouth this year – she's not out of this with Georgia Cox claiming 5lb. Flying Bear has been knocking on the door lately but is better treated on Turf at present. JUST US TWO hasn't won for a while but ran well at Newcastle last time and Silvestre De Sousa rides. He's well drawn so can get the better of Windsor scorer Fast Act, who was last on his only previous run on an artificial surface. Dynamo Walt is another to consider but Conor Dore's pair Elusivity and Jaarih probably have something to find.
