        Verdict

        FLYING NORTH had the run of the race at Lingfield last week and took full advantage. He has a penalty to overcome and may not be as fortunate here but is still on a decent mark and might be the one to beat again. Tripartite is having a first run since July and has also changed stables but has his ground so should give a good account. Rayaa beat Jack Of Diamonds at Chelmsford in November but was a beaten favourite at Yarmouth on Wednesday. Born To Please and Ashazuri have more to do than in recent victories while What A Welcome is a Polytrack specialist.
