      Verdict

      It's hardly surprising to see NOBLE EXPRESSION arrive here under a penalty after his demolition job over the course and distance last week. The step-up in trip had the desired effect and it will take a big effort to prevent him following up. Spiritual Man has also won over track and trip and reverts to the surface after two moderate runs at Kempton but True Destiny looks more of a threat. Roger Charlton's son of Mastercraftsman was a comfortable winner over 2m at Lingfield and though running poorly on a return visit never looked happy and that wasn't his form. Keith Dalgleish tries Tommy Docc in a visor but he was a long way behind the selection last time despite starting favourite.
