      Verdict

      AMERICAN GRAFFITI, who cost E320,000, was a long odds-on chance at Wolverhampton last month after a promising debut at Chelmsford but couldn't catch all-the-way winner Red Bond. He gets another chance here though Battle Of Paradise made a very encouraging start when just outpaced close home by Target Zone at Kempton, with the remainder well beaten, and will be better suited by this longer trip. Curfewed only just failed to catch the winner over a mile here in December but ran poorly on a return visit the following month.
