    Verdict

    Namid Reprobate is taken to get the better of River Bravo and Imperial Sword in this tight handicap. The selection is best over this trip as he proved when beating Lunar Express at Kempton last time out. This colt is game and consistent and has plenty of speed and he should be good enough to lead them home. River Bravo looked above average when winning at Windsor last October, but he is returning from a break today and it remains to be seen whether he has trained-on. With this in mind we will take him on at the forecast odds. Imperial Sword will handle the ground and he won well last time at Hamilton when he beat Westport. However, this is his first try over this trip and he may be vulnerable under his penalty. We are therefore happy to return to Namid Reprobate to lead them home.
