      Verdict

      Only Sintos can be discarded when looking for the winner of this five-runner bumper and we'll side with Flying Falcon. By Polar Falcon out of a High Top mare, the Venetia Williams-trained Flying Falcon looks to hold good credentials for this contest, and her trainer is not averse to winning races of this nature. Tails I Win's second in a Uttoxeter bumper recently rates as only ordinary form and it will be disappointing if one of the others does not have too much toe for him. Oliver Sherwood saddles Winsley here and this Sula Bula gelding has to be considered, particularly if supported in the market. Elle Roseador was narrowly beaten on her second run in April. As is often the case, though, it is hard to assess the form of that race as they went a dawdling pace in the race's early stages. However, it would be no surprise to see her go well. It's one of those "you pay your money and make your choice" races, and - bearing in mind the betting market - we'll choose Flying Falcon.
