NAVAL ACTION came good over a shorter trip last time with Sporting Bob finishing a distance behind. He'll start a short-price to defy a penalty given Sir Mark Prescott's yard remains in flying form and he has little to beat in this. Destiny's Shadow and That Man Of Mine have yet to show any worthwhile form over shorter trips though the former is a half-brother to a winner over 1m4f and may come out best of that pair.
Naval Action 7-1 (8-8) Tracked leaders, led over 2f out, driven clear over 1f out, easily, won at Wolverhampton 1m 1f hcp 0-60 (6) beating Anniversarie (8-11) by 1 1/4l, 11 ran.
