        Verdict

        Forest Green Flyer has placed efforts from higher marks but has yet to win a race. Topping Lass showed some promise in Ireland for Christy Roche but whipped round at the start on her last run, which was rather inauspicious. Dorset Fern has bits of form but has been disappointing of late. Spanish Archer has run well at this level from higher marks so can't be ruled out. Final Lap won a Stratford seller off 62 (now 78) in August and has been consistent of late. He has place claims. Access Overseas is consistent in this grade is sure to be in the shake-up and, accordingly, gets the TEAMtalk vote. Saone Et Laoire is a course and distance winner (now 7lbs higher) and is 16lbs worse off with Dorset Fern for beating that one 11 lengths last December. Lazzaz finished well behind Final Lap when they met last time, while Blue Style, a reasonable second to Distant Storm the time before last, finds himself off top weight here.
