    Verdict

    SWISS STAR (NAP) won a novices' race at Doncaster with a subsequent winner back in third. Further progress is expected handicapping for the first time with most of the opposition looking pretty exposed. Porfin’s recent third here came over 7f while Dors Toyboy makes a belated seasonal debut but Epic Express won on the Rowley course here back in May. Roshambo’s best efforts so far have been on the all-weather while Rhythmic Acclaim wants faster ground.
