      Verdict

      King's Caper completed a hat-trick before tackling a nursery for the first time at Epsom where he finished last of three on heavy ground. His stable companion Flylikeaneagle looked one to follow when scoring at Beverley and was impeded when finishing tailed off at Nottingham. Baptism has steadily improved and made all over this trip at Chelmsford. He'll take some catching though CONVICT only just failed to hold on in a strong York nursery after scoring at Redcar and can return to winning ways. Green Book needs to step-up and though Walkonby has won three times she faces tougher opposition.
