        Verdict

        NEVER DARK (NAP) returned to action with a good effort at Musselburgh. That was his first outing for Iain Jardine and he looks capable of scoring off his current mark on that form. It was soft going at Carlisle when the selection’s stablemate Tomily went close while Eeh Bah Gum returned a losing favourite once again when placed in a lower grade at Nottingham. Be Proud drops down from 7f and Soul Seeker looks high enough in the weights.
