      Verdict

      Three of these are previous course and distance winners and the consistent Satchville Flyer has won over 6f at the track, though has been racing over much longer trips on the all-weather lately. KINGLAMI ran a nice race at Windsor on Monday and his ability to handle conditions is a big plus. He beat Seamster here last summer and is a pound better off. Quantum Dot will have needed his run at Wolverhampton but is 4lb out of the handicap. Edged Out would have an excellent chance on his victory at Salisbury last June but hasn’t raced since so Desert Ace is of more interest given he didn’t get a clear run when fourth at Beverley last week.
