        Verdict

        Dark Ocean went close in similar company at Wolverhampton a week ago and should figure again but CAPTAIN STARLIGHT makes more appeal. The latter won a maiden race over track and trip last year and has slipped down the weights subsequently. Semaral may do better dropping back to a mile for this while the handicap debutants John Caesar and Blue Army look likely to improve now handicapping for the first time.
