      Verdict

      Swiss Cross has a shout back in this grade off his current mark but FLYING BEAR (NAP) makes most appeal. Jeremy Gask's charge can race off the same mark as when scoring at Lingfield last month where he beat Ask The Guru. The latter has since finished ahead of Extrasolar at Sandown and is also preferred to the likes of Storm Lightning and Indian Tinker, who both look high enough in the weights. Maiden winner Midlander has struggled in handicaps so far this year but has slipped down the weights as a consequence.
