        Verdict

        The Bay Warrior put a poor effort behind him when going close at Wolverhampton and Blue Beret placed at the same track last time. Complexo also arrives from finishing third over a longer trip at Wolverhampton but it could pay to stick with FINAL FANTASY (NAP) in this. The latter completed a double over a mile at Kempton last time having come out best in a fight to the line and Stuart William’s grey filly is only 2lb higher upped in distance today. Silver Screen Star is another stepping up in trip but Lanika’s recent second at Lingfield came in a seller.
