      Verdict

      Most of these are hard to recommend and Rafiot was well beaten at Lingfield a week ago having won at the same track before that. But BAY OF NAPLES has won two of his last three outings and both came over course and distance. An apprentice’s allowance negates today’s penalty and he looks the one to beat. Blowing Dixie, Thawry and Little India have all won on the Fibresand before but arrive in dire form while Kensington Art has switched yards having done all his winning so far over longer trips.
