        Verdict

        NATURAL NINE won a maiden at Beverley on his seasonal debut beating Erik The Red, who subsequently landed a hat-trick, with the the third nine lengths further behind. Roger Varian's charge gets the vote on that form. Best Example has also had just the one start this year when fourth over 6f here and should go well while Bold Prediction drops in class and is not without claims. Rock Lobster remains 8lb higher than when scoring over 1m2f here in August but Velociter finished closer last time having slipped down the weights.
