        Verdict

        ASTAPOR beat Golden Gal here last month and, despite worse terms, confirmed the form on a return visit 10 days ago. The five-year-old should be thereabouts again getting 8lb, including his rider’s allowance, from the maiden Dream Deal, who usually needs a run and has been absent since September. Aconcagua Mountain ended last year in good form on Tapeta and made a promising reappearance at Hamilton last week so can’t be ignored.
