        Verdict

        GROUNDWORKER (NAP) looks sure to make another bold bid having won an apprentices' race over track and trip last week and escaping a penalty for this. He beat Hipz by over two lengths on that occasion and the latter had earlier beaten Prince Regal and Bush Warrior at Windsor. Fever Few looks stuck on his present mark but Gold Club continues to improve and won at Chepstow last time. Head Space went close over 5f here three weeks ago and is preferred to Archie Stevens off their current marks.
