      Verdict

      A winner over hurdles, Russian Bolero has been well beaten on the Flat recently and is giving weight to J'ASPIRE. The latter finished runner-up over 1m2f at Chelmsford a week ago when giving the impression this extra test of stamina would suit so Stuart Williams' filly gets the nod. Byron Flyer ran well in a bumper last year and makes his debut on the level along with another winning hurdler in Rhythm Star but Hank Williams was well beaten in a maiden at Chelmsford last month.
