        Verdict

        It's now almost two years and 23 races since Surewecan recorded his one and only victory. Inexes has been raised a couple of pounds since his third over course and distance at the start of the month but Top Offer remains in good form and returns to his best trip. FLYING FANTASY (NAP) couldn't follow up an earlier victory here last time at Lingfield and finished behind joint favourite Surewecan. But he wasn't beaten far and would probably have got a lot closer had he not run wide off the final turn – compensation awaits. Black Truffle has been well weighted for a while but continues to disappoint.
