        Verdict

        A previous winner of five sprints, Trending won here when stepped up to 1m2f last time and now attempts an even longer distance. Little Flo went close over track and trip last month when ahead of Lucky Dottie and Hiorne Tower and was not beaten far despite finishing only sixth here last month. But OPERA BUFF found only one too good in a claimer over course and distance last year despite the unfavourable terms and with a recent comeback run under his belt, Jose Santos' charge may well prove good enough in this.
