      Verdict

      HI NOTE is the only course and distance winner in the line-up. He's only 2lb higher and a couple of recent runs on the Flat should have put him right for this. Woodland Walk has been looking high in the weights since his maiden success and was beaten in a lower class contest at Doncaster last time while Flute Bowl was beaten a long way at Stratford a couple of weeks ago. The once promising Va'Vite hasn't run since November 2013 and has changed stables but Jean Fleming may be better suited by this quicker ground.
