Verdict

Mr Bachster and Finch Flyer fought out the finish of a similar race at Ludlow last month with the former just getting the verdict. He's 2lb worse off here but should confirm the form and go well while Tinelyra's yard is in such good form that he has to be respected despite letting supporters down on his last two starts. Peak Seasons, who has won eight of his 149 career starts, will love the quick ground better than most but it's CARA COURT who is handed the vote. He's probably better with some cut in the ground and would like some rain but he's capable of winning at this level and his rider's 5lb claim is a bonus.
