        Verdict

        Jazz Samba won over a shorter trip here last time and Ugo Gregory went close at the same fixture looking to end a long losing run. Broctune Red is best on the all-weather nowadays but Simulation Theory beat Captain Corelli at Carlisle last autumn and the latter went on to score over track and trip. FORWARD FLIGHT has improved for a switch of yards and having finished runner-up at Wetherby last month, he gets the vote given he scored off a higher mark at Yarmouth at this time last year.
