Verdict

SEAL OF SOLOMON (NAP) has taken advantage of a lenient handicap mark and he clearly appreciates Yarmouth as those two recent victories suggest. Captain Kane has been on the go for a while but the handicapper may have finally got a grip of him having watched him progress from a mark of 48 since March. Sir Mark Prescott’s team are in decent nick so it would be folly to write off Genesius under the circumstances. Sharp Combo was a fair juvenile and has evidently had issues that have prevented him progressing onward thus far.
