      Verdict

      Smoothtalkinrascal should have benefited for a recent comeback run and is capable of going close in this grade on his day. But Royal Bajan tends to save his best for Southwell and the same comment applies to Hannahs Turn while Megaleka remains 4lb higher than when scoring at Nottingham in November. SECRET ASSET (NAP) has slid down the handicap over the winter and shown a bit more of late with a length defeat by Guishan over track and trip his latest effort. He looks set to strike soon and it could be today. Long Awaited is not out of this on his reappearance but Only Ten Per Cent may struggle upped in class.
