      Verdict

      GOLD FLASH (NAP) has obvious claims on last week’s second over course and distance. He just failed to reel-in Surewecan on that occasion and can go one better off the same mark. Swift Approval was placed here in September and returns to action while Ralphy Boy scored over track and trip in August and is 4lb higher. Art Obsession is another course and distance winner though he failed to score last year while Luis Vaz De Torres has plenty to prove over this longer trip.
