        Verdict

        Heron has won twice over 1m6f so far this year though found Sacred Sprite too good over the same distance at Wolverhampton in between. Beau Knight also scored over 1m6f when successful here last month with Barca back in fourth but previous efforts over 2m fail to inspire confidence. FITZWILLY found the marathon 2m4f trip at Lingfield beyond him last time but had won with a bit to spare over the extended 2m at the same track before that and Mick Channon’s charge gets another chance despite racing off a 4lb higher mark today.
