        Verdict

        Napoletano is taken to land the prize in this handicap with Danawi and Millfield also considered. The selection was a close third behind Drawback at Lingfield last time out and from a good draw here he should take plenty of beating. The booking of Richard Quinn is another plus as he does ride this track very well. Danawi is interesting as he wasn't beaten all that far back in fourth behind Takitwo here last time and a reproduction of that effort should see him competitive. Millfield was slowly away at Lingfield last time and that cost him his chance so he may be capable of better today. However, he looks to have a little to find if he is to get his head in front. Fantasy Defender has a decent draw and he also has the very capable Luke Morris taking 5lbs off his back so he could go well at a price. However, Napoletano showed enough last time to suggest that his turn would not be far away.
