      In depth

      Verdict

      Surf Walk is the only one with experience and has had wind surgery since a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton in February where he still wasn’t beaten far. But FIX BAYONETS has a really nice pedigree being a half-brother to four winners including the Grade 2 bumper winner Killyglass. Little Awkward is Flat bred so can’t be ignored.
