        Verdict

        Although he was beaten favourite last time, FLORES SEA ran well from a poor draw and he can gain his compensation over the likes of Lucayan Dancer and Orsippus. The selection is turned out quickly after finishing fourth at Southwell when he had to travel wide throughout. He will have no such problems here and he looks set for a big run. Lucayan Dancer won well here and he then went close at Carlisle last time and in his current rich vein of form he has to be shortlisted. Orsippus has got a poor strike-rate on the all-weather but he is better on the turf and he should be suited by this drop in trip. Solis has been kept busy with a winter campaign over hurdles and he is worth a market check on his return to the level. However, we will stick with Flores Sea who is clearly in good heart at present.
