        Verdict

        COLLIDE (NAP) is the least exposed of these and is showing good progress. The Frankel colt defied a penalty to win a novices' race in soft ground at Carlisle last time and further improvement is expected from Hugo Palmer’s charge now handicapping for the first time. Placed at York last time, Mafaaheem has had just the two starts this year and is less exposed than Contango off his current mark while Glasses Up finished in front of Delph Crescent when going close at Beverley before struggling in Listed company here on Thursday.
