      Verdict

      Mythical Madness landed a course and distance double in July and beat Top Class Angel in the process. But the veteran hasn’t figured back here subsequently and the progressive CURTIZ (NAP) is preferred. The latter easily beat the re-opposing Prince Rock when scoring over track and trip recently and carries a penalty. But he’s due to be raised a further 5lb after this and Hughie Morrison’s charge can take advantage. Secret Moment posted a better effort at Chelmsford still looking for his first win and may prove best of the rest.
