        Verdict

        SUCELLUS (NAP) finally looks ready to exploit a tumble down the weights. He was beaten less than a length in a tougher race at York last time and should make a bold bid in this company. Baryshnikov went close in handicaps before winning a novices race at Chester and is preferred to Abbotside, who was placed yet again when second at Ripon. Granite City Doc has been running well at Hamilton but both Purple Knight and Bucephalus have more scope.
