      Verdict

      Both Flying Bear and Arctic Lynx scored over track and trip on their penultimate starts but failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time. The latter only beat Sir Billy Wright by a neck and David Evans' charge re-opposes on better terms. Foxy Forever remains out of sorts and ROYAL ACQUISITION was well beaten in better company last time. But Bob Cowell's sprinter had earlier gone close in this grade at Lingfield so gets a tentative vote to go one better in this.
