Verdict
PERFECT PASTIME (NAP) ended last year with a win at Windsor and will have come on for his recent reappearance. None of today's opposition arrive in decent form and Jim Boyle's charge may come out best. Shamahan finished just ahead of Top Offer when third over 5f here in February but Only Ten Per Cent was still beaten eight lengths when second in a claimer here on his penultimate start. Stone Of Folca and Rufford continue to tumble down the weights but neither have looked any nearer winning.
