        Verdict

        A weak sprint but NAPLES BAY finally showed some improvement for a tumble down the weights when placed at Thirsk last month and may prove good enough in this company. Prazeres had been threatening to score before a poor effort at Musselburgh last time and Berlios was runner-up on the all-weather on a couple of occasions earlier this year. Star Cracker went close over 5f at Newcastle recently and Gaelic Wizard made the frame over the minimum trip at Hamilton last week.
