        Verdict

        Birdwatcher scored over 1m4f at Pontefract last time but, though he stays today's longer trip, he's too inconsistent to trust and NATIVE COLONY is preferred. A winner over 1m6f, Roger Varian's colt was beaten less than a length at Warwick last time and should be capable of better stepping up in distance again here. Dark And Dangerous has won over a shorter distance at this track and can figure along with Kleitomachos, who has gone very close on a couple of occasions recently and will appreciate this greater test of stamina.
