      Verdict

      AUSTRALIS (NAP) has gone close the last twice now and this looks easier than his latest task in a conditions race at Newcastle behind the higher rated Island Brave. Rochester House missed out on a hat-trick when only fourth at Newcastle and an apprentice’s allowance helps his cause today while Nate The Great will be sharper for a recent comeback and today’s trip will suit. Charlie D and To Be Wild have struggled lately and Chipiron debuts for new connections having won seven times in France including twice on the all-weather.
