        Verdict

        STARSHIBA (NAP) was beaten a short-head in a better race over the track and trip last month and is 1lb lower so can get back on the winning trail. He holds Otago on that run while Sir Titan's second at Newbury came in a lower-grade five-runner race and Bonus is up 6lb for landing a Class 6 handicap at Ffos Las. Hector Loza beat Eloso, who runs in the 2.50, on this track but hasn't run up to that form the last twice while Baileys Liberty disappointed at Yarmouth. Kimifive was engaged in the 5.35 here yesterday.
