      Verdict

      Byron Flyer could represent some value off 91, his lowest mark on the Flat since 2017. He retains ability at the age of 10 and Serena Brotherton is booked. Civil Law bounced back at Newcastle with the all-weather surface given as the reason for improvement by connections, so interesting to see him back on turf now. His participation may be in question as he's declared here on Friday. NICHOLAS T (NAP) has finished close-up in competitive handicaps on all starts this term and it's hard to see him not in the shake-up. He's the choice with the handily-weighted Arctic Fox also expected to go well.
