        Verdict

        POWER OF GOLD (NAP) won readily at Doncaster on his most recent start and on that evidence, there should be more to come from Hugo Palmer’s colt. Sparks Fly began her winning streak off a mark of just 59 and she convincingly defied the handicapper at Chester nine days ago. Young Fire missed an engagement on Friday and would be of interest if showing up here. Gincident came up against a progressive sort in the Silver Bowl at Haydock and there is unlikely to be of that ilk lurking amongst today’s rivals.
