        Verdict

        ONE HART (NAP) beat Spring Romance at Wolverhampton last month and the latter boosted that form when scoring over 6f here last week. James Ferguson’s progressive charge looks worth sticking with, though Amber Island has decent claims on a recent second to a much higher rated horse in a conditions race here. The latter is preferred to Fighting Temeraire and Royal Dynasty on that form but Apollinaire will be sharper for last month’s outing having missed the whole of last year. Alminoor looks best of the rest.
