Verdict
The progressive BARTACK (NAP) landed a double at Ripon last month. He beat runner-up Bold Prediction a length last time with King Torus and Border Bandit further behind and the hat-trick beckons. The latter has since gone close at Redcar while Big Johnny D is not out of this off his current mark dropping down a grade. Burano is another on the slide but remains out of form and Silver Rime's recent course and distance win came in an amateurs' race.
