Verdict
SAMPHIRE COAST (NAP) has won two of his last three starts now and both over course and distance. He struggled in a higher grade in between but should go close again in this. Mister Music made a winning return in an apprentices’ race over 7f at Southwell and escapes a penalty while Exit Europe ran well at Kempton in between a couple of poor efforts. Luna Magic is another unreliable type who won at Lingfield before struggling at the same track and Gala Celebration hasn’t raced since October.
