      Verdict

      Navello overcame a tardy start to get off the mark at Wolverhampton a week ago but the form probably doesn’t amount to much and he may struggle to defy a penalty. Preference is for Archie Watson’s newcomer GOLDEN RAINBOW as there is speed in his pedigree and he is likely to know his job. The other pair new to racing, Bascinet and Smooth Talking, are likely to need further and neither Graftonat nor Vaxholm have showed much so far.
