      Verdict

      All of these step up in distance today but HARD TASKMASTER is the most progressive. The latter shrugged off a further hike in the weights when returning a clear-cut winner over a mile at Chelmsford and a four-timer beckons for James Tate’s colt. Nathless and Hoffa faced tough tasks in Class 2 contests on their respective handicap debuts and should go well while Jacko has shown steady progress in novice company but Sepahi has plenty to find with the selection.
