Verdict

The progressive KARIBANA followed a Newbury success with a more convincing win over course and distance a fortnight ago. He looks worth sticking with despite a further rise in the weights. Broughtons Gold is also on the upgrade having won three of his last four outings and steps back up in distance after scoring over 6f at Windsor but Yarmouth winner Black Caspian failed to cope racing off a higher mark last time. Dashing Roger won a lower grade contest over a mile at Yarmouth while Recall The Show returns to a handicap having finished runner-up in novice company over 6f on the Rowley Mile course here.
