      Verdict

      Sudden Flight can outstay Sarn and Herne Bay, with course and distance winner Grand Fromage worth a mention. Nothing really stands out here but Sudden Flight has shown enough promise at Kempton and Haydock of late to warrant support. The ground has come right for him and he gets every yard of the trip so should go close off what is a fair mark compared to his best form. Sarn was well behind at Haydock and is held on only slightly better terms, so a bigger danger may be Herne Bay. Although well beaten on his only previous visit here, the Alan Bailey inmate won well enough at Southwell the time before last. Grand Fromage was successful here last year for Paul Webber but has shown little since, and in a moderate race, Sudden Flight holds the best credentials
