      Verdict

      Very little between the top three on the card on official ratings but ASSASSINATE (NAP) has produced improved performances the last twice especially when runner-up in a competitive if low grade Yarmouth sprint recently. He has yet to win over this 6f trip but is more than effective over it and can go one better. Course and distance winner, Swanton Blue hasn't been shaping too badly in handicap company and will appreciate the drop into selling grade, whilst Trotter continues to run his race and should be on the premises. Born To Boogie is not well treated by race conditions on official ratings but is not ruled out on the back of a sound handicap effort here latest.
