        Verdict

        Bernie's Boy won over track and trip before struggling over 6f and could go well again. Jorvik Prince posted a much better effort at Wolverhampton a week ago while Miaella won at the latter track last month but has a 9lb hike to contend with. WILD FLOWER beat Swell Song by only a head at Yarmouth last week but would have won more easily with a clear run earlier in the race and Shaun Keightley’s mare looks to have every chance of completing a hat-trick.
