      Verdict

      FLYING PURSUIT (NAP) is definitely the class act here and though he hasn’t raced over the minimum trip since his debut back in 2015 he generally shows good pace and made most when scoring over 6f at York. He can return to winning ways though stable companion Copper Knight is much more of a specialist over the minimum as he showed when scoring on the Knavesmire last month. The veteran Mirza is no back-number and has gradually dropped to a winnable mark as he showed at Leicester last time when he had the three-year-old Kick On Kick On just behind.
