        Verdict

        FLYIN’ HIGH is penalised for winning over course and distance but both placed horses have subsequently won so the form looks solid. Andrew Balding’s three-year-old receives weight from the older horses on these terms and can go in again. Night Ranger went close over track and trip in December with Big Muddy back in fourth and the latter has since placed at Southwell while Raiff won an all-weather bumper over 2m at Lingfield back in November and debuts in this code. Floating Rock also debuts on the Flat having shown good progress over hurdles last year while the newcomer Kehailaan cost €75,000 as the first foal of a winner in Australia.
