          Verdict

          BYRON’S CHOICE won easily at Catterick last time and a 7lb rise is reduced by Oliver Stammers’ allowance. Another bold bid is expected from him while Flying Pursuit won under today’s apprentice over track and trip a fortnight ago though is 5lb higher today. Masked Identity went close at Newmarket and has a shout while With Respect is another to consider having placed at Newbury last time. Get Knotted has slipped down the weights and makes most appeal of the rest.
