      Verdict

      After starting a massive price on his previous couple of starts at Southwell NACHO LIBRE was sent off a well backed 9/2 over 7f here last week and found only one too good. Mick Easterby's charge has reportedly had breathing problems, but if they don't affect him today, he could go one better over this shorter trip and he gets the vote. Mr Skipiton has been threatening a return to winning ways of late and should go well again along with Welcome Approach. Dingaan has plenty to find with the selection on latest running and Do More Business looks a bigger danger on his recent second at Lingfield.
