      Verdict

      It’s about time LORD RAPSCALLION (NAP) was getting his head back in front. He was only beaten a length by Bowman over track and trip in June and is 7lb better off. Wodeton won easily here in the same month, with Larado only third, but he failed to cope with a 9lb hike in the ratings at Goodwood. Outrun The Storm was a well-beaten favourite at Beverley on Saturday but Espressoo is starting to come down the weights again. The going might not suit Evocative Spark.
