      Verdict

      Dusky Prince passed the post first at Newcastle but was demoted to second and having failed to keep a straight line while Mick's Spirit is penalised for last week’s win at Lingfield though is due to be raised a further 2lb. But HARB (NAP) had the measure of Atiyah when runner-up in a higher grade sprint over track and trip last time and can go one better in this. La Roca Del Fuego is another dropping back down in class having won here in December.
