Verdict

Navajo War Dance can give a boost to the Warwick win of MASTER WORK (NAP) in the previous race. Philip Hobbs’ gelding is unexposed and may finally be ready to fulfil his potential. World Premier was awarded a race at Hereford by the stewards but this looks tougher off a 3lb higher mark. The Twisler has come up short so far in handicaps but Irish raider Comehere Hi is interesting reverting to hurdles and makes more appeal than stablemate My Manekineko and the frustrating Amanto.
