    Verdict

    Moral Hazard and MASTER BAKER have been in fine form between the flags. The latter’s latest victory at Milborne St Andrew would have been even more emphatic had he not met trouble in-running and Les Jefford’s charge can keep his winning run going. Fly West has won his share of point-to-points and has an experienced amateur on board but Manhattan Mead and The Lizard King look to have plenty to find and Connies Cross has been out of sorts.
