    Verdict

    AMETIST (NAP) shrugged off a penalty to land the odds in novice company at Wetherby on his reappearance. Another step forward looks likely now handicapping and the Haggas colt gets the nod. Dazzling Dan only beat three opponents when scoring at Yarmouth and Riot came up short again when finding one too good at Newcastle and has been raised 3lb. Pistoletto won his first couple of starts back in 2019 but hasn’t scored since but Society Lion has a shout on the best of last year’s form with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause.
