Verdict
SPRING LOADED (NAP) continued his good progress when scoring over track and trip last month with Barracuda Boy back in third. Paul D'Arcy's sprinter is upped a further 6lb but may not have finished improving yet. Nuno Tristan was a couple of lengths ahead of Magnus Maximus when runner-up at Chelmsford last time but is upped in class today while though Baddilini finished in front of Primrose Valley over 7f here recently, neither threatened to get involved in the finish.
