      Verdict

      FLINTY BAY is hard to oppose in this. He's gone close on his last two starts at Sedgefield and a clear round should see him off the mark over fences. Yachvili may have finished second on his chasing bow at this track but he was beaten a distance and the Irish raider Sean Airgead makes more appeal on his first start over the larger obstacles. Hawaii Klass was winning over timber at Ayr in March and looks best of the remainder.
