        Verdict

        Some unexposed performers in opposition with many trying the trip for the first time but Banningham Blaze is handed the vote with Astyanax, Loyal and Field Spark the main dangers. Banningham Blaze has been a model of consistency this term and followed up a comfortable Beverley success over twelve furlongs with placed efforts at Warwick and Pontefract subsequently. The son of Averti shapes as though he will have no difficulty in getting the extra quarter of a mile and remains on a fair mark so should be thereabouts at the finish once again. Astyanax was a wide-margin winner on the all-weather and was far from disgraced when a staying-on third at Warwick on Monday. Sir Mark Prescott's charge is progressing along the right lines and looks capable of better still over this longer trip. Loyal represents an in-from yard and could leave previous efforts behind on his handicap debut while Field Spark, who made a winning return at Catterick in March, is another who should appreciate the step up in trip. Cheeky Girl was a narrow winner of a Pontefract seller last time but has more on her plate on this occasion.
