      Verdict

      The handicapper has taken no chances with DUFFEL raising him 8lb for winning a Wolverhampton maiden. But today's opposition look no great shakes and Luca Cumani's colt gets the nod. Be Bold was rated 15lb higher as recently as May but shows no signs of a resurgence while stablemate Prefect gets first-time headgear having disappointed back in maiden company last time. Lucy The Painter never looked like repeating her win at Ffos Las when well beaten at Haydock last time but Epping Forest could go well back over 6f today.
