        Verdict

        A competitive handicap with this drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience Greatgadian while Noisy Night steps up in distance after placing over 7f. Imperial Sands won a lower grade race over track and trip with both Naval Commander and Bear Force One behind but it could pay to stick with POSITIVE (NAP). The latter returned to winning ways at the end of last year when beating Baldomero in this grade at Wolverhampton and Clive Cox’ yard is in fine form at present.
