      Verdict

      Aprovado is on a roll after victories at Redcar and Pontefract. He has a penalty to carry here but is clearly in good heart. Foolaad only had to be pushed out to win his maiden at Doncaster and remains unexposed, though the handicapper has done him no favours here. Cool Bahamian and See The Storm have the past form to figure and Meritocracy might appreciate a return to Turf but Jammy Guest looks out of sorts and Bonjour Steve couldn't win off this mark in a lesser grade at Chepstow on Monday. PATRICK (NAP) is still unexposed on this surface and won a shade cosily over track and trip last month. He's been raised 7lb but looks capable of defying the extra.
