      Verdict

      Lindwall's best in five starts since joining Donald McCain from Sir Mark Prescott came on the Flat when runner-up over 2m at Catterick in May. Not seen since, he is hard to get an accurate handle on. The Prescott team oppose now with Gordons Aura and the gelding should be competitive after a solid runner-up effort over 1m6f. He's likely to stay this extended two-mile trip and remains lightly-raced. Maggie's Delight has a similar profile with four runs to her name and just a sole handicap start - a fair second at Yarmouth last month. Yagood is respected on a first run for a new yard with stamina is assured, but FLINT HILL (NAP) is a guaranteed stayer on a workable mark with a good track record. He wasn't beaten far in a decent York handicap latest and was a close second here previously.
