      Verdict

      To say this could be better is an understatement; but Napoleon Dynamite is the likeliest winner on what they have shown so far, while Futuristic Dragon and Raise The Goblet are open to improvement. Both are worthy of consideration as alternatives if the market suggests the selection could be vulnerable. Raise The Goblet represents a yard that does well on the All Weather and, as he is related to several winners, he is yet to live up to the potential of held in his pedigree. He qualifies for a handicap mark after this; so is one worth bearing in mind for future reference. Futuristic Dragon was slow to get the hang of things on his debut at Bath; but did run on strongly near the finish. That was encouraging enough for him to be a contender at this lowly level and a bold attempt cannot be ruled out. Nevertheless, Napoleon Dynamite has dropped several hints that his turn is near and he will rarely be presented with a better opportunity to win a race than this
