        Verdict

        REPUTATION (NAP) deserves some tangible reward for a string of consistent efforts in decent company this season. The handicapper has done him no favours raising him another 2lb since his fifth at Goodwood but he's still fancied to hold off fellow three-year-old Tanasoq, off the mark last time in a Salisbury maiden, and Haydock third Explain. Mississippi has only won once in 33 starts on Turf but the handicapper is finally starting to show some leniency. Signore Piccolo came back to form at Hamilton but Classic Pursuit struggles in this grade.
